Isa 7:14 is one of the most enigmatic texts of the Old Testament in which the traditional Christian exegesis has found the roots of the dogma of the virgin birth. It remains a question though whether this text indeed focuses on the female figure rathern than the son to be born. Following a brief survey of the recent state of research, in this article I address the question of the possible historical background of the text. Recent semantical investigations of the term עַלְמָה, often translated as ‘virgin’, show that neither עַלְמָה nor its synonym בְּתוּלָה imply any information about the eventual sexual experience of the named person. Both terms denote a young, unmarried woman. Regarding the identity of this woman there are four main theories: 1. the woman and his son are late eschatological figures conveying messianic messages; 2. the woman is the daughter of Zion and Immanuel is the people of Jerusalem. 3.

In studies on the composition of prophetic literature, the larger textual layers reinterpreting earlier texts, the so-called Fortschreibungen, received much attention. It is well-known that beside these larger literary elaborations prophetic books also contain shorter explanatory interpolations, often called glosses, which intend to clarify a particular imagery of the prophecy (e.g., Isa 9:14). A systematic reading of these short annotations has been neglected, however, in studying the formation of prophetic books. The present article reconsiders the Isaiah-Memoir from this perspective. It identifies editorial interpolations in three distinct pericopes, Isa 8:2, 8:6-7a and 8:23b. It is argued here that the identification of such explanatory additions is the key to understanding notorious textual complexities. Moreover, it points out that these interpolations tend to expose recognisable patterns and common hermeneutical principles.

Berettyószéplakon a temetkezés kultusza a neolitikumig vezethető vissza. 1956-ban a református templom kőkerítésének a javításakor emberi csontokat ástak ki a földből. Mi több, az emberek azt tartják, hogy amikor a zsidó imaházat és az alsó iskolát építették (19. század közepe, 20. század eleje), akkor is és ott is találtak emberi csontokat. A régi középkori temető a református egyháztól egészen a Sár utcáig, annak bejáratáig, a Bálint utcán (sikátoron) át a régi kultúrházig terjeszkedett, követve a Nagy-patak meredek partját. A Bálint utcában 1959 augusztusában bontották le Papp János házát. Az új házának építésekor emberi csontokra bukkantak. A csontok mellett koporsómaradványokat is felszínre forgattak. A református templom mellé legkorábban a 11–12. században temetkeztek. 17–18. századig temetkezhettek a szűkön vett cintóriumba, amely fokozatosan növekedett, tágult a mostani Somlyó útig. 1842–43-ban „czinterem” a temető neve, legalábbis a kurátori számadásban.
