In this study of the Immanuel prophecy of Isaiah 7:14 and its reception, I will show how the relation of exegetical, hermeneutical, and translational decisions influences the process of understanding before any translation is done. I wish to maintain that Matthew’s use of Isaiah 7 is coherent with its wording and logic. I would like to invite translators and exegetes to determine textual and exegetical matters under theological premises, that is, under a biblical hierarchy of authority.
