# Isaiah 07 General Notes #
|

|
|
#### Structure and formatting ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers or songs. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 7:7-9, 18-25, which are important quotations.

|
|
||
|
|
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### "Young woman" #####
|
||
|
|
Some translations choose to translate this as "virgin" and believe it is a reference to the messiah being born of a virgin woman. This is only one possible translation, therefore most translations have avoided forcing this specific connotation into the meaning of the term. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ]])

|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Israel #####
|
||
|
|
In this chapter, Israel is a reference to the northern kingdom of Israel and not the nation as a whole. They are also called Ephraim in this chapter after its most prominent tribe.
