Follow-up from #72.
youngImmanuelProphecy in Bib/Works.lean is part 1 of E. J. Young, "The Immanuel Prophecy: Isaiah 7:14–16", Westminster Theological Journal 15.2 (1953), 97–124. Part 1 covers the setting and the word עַלְמָה. It is cited against the critical denial, and at 113–14 for the annunciation form.
Young continued the article in a later issue of WTJ. That instalment is where he argues the near-term question directly: whether 7:14 is a sign fulfilled in Ahaz's day. Its volume, issue and page range have not been verified.
To do
- Find part 2 in a public catalogue or the WTJ archive and verify the volume, issue, year and pages. Add it as its own
Works entry, per .claude/skills/adding-a-citation.
- Read it for his verdict on
isaiahIsNearTermSignToAhaz and nearTermExcludesMessianicSense.
- Cite him where he bears on each, as primary or supporting, and say in the source comment which way he reads.
- If he answers the identification of the child with Maher-shalal-hash-baz, check whether that bears on the rating of
motyerLine's step, timetablePassesToMaherShalalHashBaz (now disputed).
The verdict is not expected to change: Young is on the side that already prevails. What changes is that the near-term premise's rating is backed by a text that has been read, not by what part 1 says it will argue.
