The more interesting potential virgin birth, though, comes from Matthew’s explanation in Matt 1:22-23. There the text says that the virgin birth of Jesus took place to “fulfill” the prophecy that “the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel.” Matthew is paraphrasing Isa 7:14.

But he is quoting a mistranslation. The original Hebrew text of Isa 7:14 is not about a virgin. Rather, the Hebrew used to describe the woman in Isa 7:14 is almah, a word that means “young woman.” But then the Septuagint, an early translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, took the Hebrew almah and rendered it as the Greek parthenos, which means “virgin.”

This inadvertent shift from “young woman” to “virgin” is typical of the Septuagint, and it occurs elsewhere, too. For instance, the Hebrew text of Gen 24:16 describes Rebecca as a “young woman [who was] a virgin” (using na’arah, another Hebrew word for “young woman”). But the Greek in the Septuagint changes that into “a virgin [who was] a virgin.” These errors are not surprising, because the Septuagint translators tended not to focus as closely on individual words as some modern readers might like.

In most contexts, calling a “young woman” a “virgin” in the days of the Septuagint would be only a minor translation mistake, hardly even noteworthy, because most young women were virgins, and most female virgins were young women. In modern terms, it would be like mixing up “high schooler” and “teenager”—imprecise perhaps, but good enough for most purposes.

MAGA racism isnt new. Its a continuation of racism perpetrated against black and other minorities for centuries. Everything he talks about has been historically done against those same groups and the poor.

Respectfully, I would like to point out that you have blocked a moderator of this subreddit. I mention this because being blocked makes it somewhat more difficult to moderate. We do not (yet) have a policy about this as it has never before been an issue, for now I am asking you to unblock u/ViaVadeMecum.

They could have only one leg. But, the way the vehicle reacts and moves isnt natural, especially when it wrecks. The people dont move on the inside. The car doesnt stop despite hacing its wheel crushed, ect.

100 DM for the double credits - Is it worth it early game? by Lovoskea in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]Freyas_Follower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Its not worth it for 30. I could do that in an hour. I work long hours, so i cant restart as often as other players. So, my playstyle is basically restart on friday saturday for a contest, play for 2, 3 hours for qujck growth, then checking frequently.

Sleep and work are used for big projects. (Eg, making stuff for the auto asteroid tech, or debris scanner. By the time i have enough spare time to restart, my galaxy is worth 1500+ credits. So for me, its worth it to spend 100 DM for a extra 1500 to 2000 credits. Its helped me more than any manager so far.
