McLaughlin argues that Matthew recognizes that the prophecy Isaiah gave to King Ahaz in the referenced Old Testament passage concerned a virgin living at that time (namely, Isaiah's wife) and a child (namely, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz), who was born as a sign to Ahaz , and he argues that Matthew saw the act of salvation of which Maher-Shalal-Hash ...
Matthew's use of the Greek word parthenos, meaning "virgin" to render the Hebrew word almah, meaning a young woman of childbearing age who has not yet born a child, springs from his use of the Greek Septuagint (LXX) version of Isaiah rather than the Hebrew version.

Thus, Isaiah may have prophesied for as long as 64 years. [13] According to some modern interpretations, Isaiah's wife was called "the prophetess", [14] either because she was endowed with the prophetic gift, like Deborah [15] and Huldah, [16] or simply because she was the "wife of the prophet".
