Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
- (Jewish Publication OT English translation from the Hebrew)
Both Masoretic and the ancient Hebrew Isaiah Scroll found at the Dead Sea use the Hebrew word (almah) meaning young woman or maidden of marriageable age. The Hebrew language has a different word (betulot) to describe a female virgin but it is not specifically used in that passage, though of course (according to divine law) the not yet married "almah" is understood to also be a virgin as the moral norm. It's ironic that when Mary's husband Joseph heard that she was pregnant, obviously could not accept it till it was revealed to him what really had happened.

Amazing moral evidence acknowledging the sovereign providence of God (to distinguish in foreknowing how most Jewish hebrew speaking people would at first reject the heavenly message) how the word "parthenos" virgin is also used in the Greek New Testament fulfilment understood as such for generations:

Ironically the Tyndale first New Testament English translation from the original tongues (before it was edited by later generations) still emphasized something more to that Greek "parthenos" virgin; originally acknowledging the Hebraic "almah" by translating it as a maid:

Indeed ironic how that the Greek along with the gentiles were truely like a young virgin coming to God compared to the Hebrew people that had a relationship with God all along from the beginning.. that brings the following Scriptures to mind:Verse not found.There were no verses found at Romans 11:13-27 (TRC).

Unfortunately nowadays the majority of gentiles (others unlike most moral Torah abiding Jews) have watered down the meaningful Hebraic costum value of a godly virgin maidden ready to be bethroned for helping her husband.

1. An unmarried woman; usually, a young unmarried woman; esp., a girl; a virgin; a maiden.
MAID indeed brings out to light the true Hebraic meaning of even "parthenos" here taken as a real VIRGIN: young moral woman of marriageable age mature to be a helpful productive wife. The Jewish Mary (called Mirium in Hebrew) was in-deed more than just a virgin before she gave birth, because she herself specifically said she was the HANDMAIDEN of the Lord:
