[Søren Holst <sh AT teol.ku.dk>]

I just checked the Qimron/Parry edition of the great Isaiah Scroll, and there 
are a couple of variations relative to the Masoretic text (e.g. the scroll 
has YHWH where the MT has "adonay"), but the word "almah" is the same.

(I didn't scrutinize the photo, but their printed text seemed to reflect a 
fairly well preserved passage with a few holes in it).

In addition we have 4QIs[l] which preserves the word "hinneh" ("look!") 
immediately preceding "almah", but that's all. No help there.

My knee jerk reaction must have reflected an attempt of mine many years ago 
to see whether there are any **interpretations** of Is 7:14 in the pesher 
literature from Qumran - and there aren't.

anyway
gut schabbes and/or have a nice weekend
