This Greek translation of the scriptures by 70 Jewish Scholars in about 200 BCE (in Alexandria, Egypt?) translates Is 7:14 - "almah" - young woman as the Greek word "parthenos" which means virgin in the usual sense of the English word. Does this contribute to the solution or the problem? Bob Brown {...pur-ee!inuxc!ihnp4!clyde!akgua!rjb} AT&T Technologies, Inc.............. Norcross, Ga (404) 447-3784 ... Cornet 583-3784
