Lamsa, in the introduction to his English translation of the Peshitta, 
specifies that in Isaiah 7:14, HF(AL:MFH of the Hebrew text is replaced by 
the Aramaic _betholta_.  This suggests the recognition by the original 3rd 
Century Xtian translator that (AL:MFH did not then necessarily imply 
virginity.

I am trying to follow this up and need to see the Aramaic of Isaiah 7:14 in 
the Peshitta. I personally have an English translation, but have the 
Aramaic text only for the New Testament.  I posted a request on the 
b-aramaic list, and received a post from the moderator arguing against this 
interpretation, but not a transliteration of the verse.

Is there someone on this list who has access to the Peshitta Old Testament 
in Aramaic, who could post a transliteration of this verse?

Thanks,

Will
