I've compared several translations of Isaiah 9:2-7 and I noticed that the New
American Standard, unlike any other i read, renders YuLaD, Qal Perf. Pass.,
in Isa 9:5 as "will be born." I don't see any reason to give this a future
sense grammatically. I suppose if it is clearly understood as someone future
that might be plausible but not because of the tense. Thanks.
