It is well known that the LXX of Is 7:14 uses the word "parthenos"; while the
MT has "almah" and not "bethulah".

My question, particularly to Dr. Ehrman is, is this an example of scribal
corruption to make the LXX conform with the orthodox viewpoint concerning the
messiahship of Jesus?

It seems that several other versions of the LXX, which have a different
rendering, would support this view.

And, if alteration (rather than corruption!!) has occured in this text, is it
fairly certain that it has occured elsewhere as well?


Thanks,


Jim West
