Bible Question: Why did the translators of the Updated New American Standard Bible use "a" virgin and not "the" virgin, since the definite article exists in the Hebrew text? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Joseph... Welcome to the forum! There are 15 occurrences of the phrase "a virgin" in the Old Testament. (I am assuming that that is what you are talking about, since you mention "the Hebrew text" (sic).) I didn't look at them all, but none appeared with the definite article "ha-". Was there a particular verse you had in mind? In Him, Doc |
