king of See also:Judah, alarmed at the preparations made against him by the Syro-Ephraimitish See also:alliance, was inclined to seek aid from Tiglath-pileser of See also:Assyria, the See also:prophet See also:Isaiah endeavoured to allay his fear by telling him that the danger would pass away, and as a sign from Yahweh that this should be so, any See also:young woman who should within the See also:year See also:bear a son, might See also:call his name Immanuel in token of the divine See also:protection accorded to Judah. For before the See also:infant should come to even the immature intelligence of childhood the lands of the foe would be laid See also:waste (Isaiah vii. 14-16). For other interpretations, especially as regards the See also:mother, see Ency. Bib. See also:col. 2,62-3, and the commentaries. In the See also:post-exilic See also:period the See also:historical meaning of the passage was forgotten, and a new significance was given to it in accordance with the gradually developing eschatological See also:doctrine. This new See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
interpretation finds expression in Matt. I. 23, where the name is applied to Jesus as the See also:Messiah. At the See also:close of Isaiah viii. 8 for " of thy See also:land, 0 Immanuel," we should probably read " of the land, for God is with us." The three passages quoted are the only instances where this word occurs in Scripture; it is frequent in See also:hymns and devotional literature as a See also:title of Jesus See also:Christ.
