What should we make of this footnote in the NET Bible then:
This is part of the footnote at Isa. 7:14:
...The LXX translator(s) who later translated the Book of Isaiah into Greek
sometime between the second and first century b.c., however, rendered the
Hebrew term by the more specific Greek word PARQENOS which does mean
"virgin" in a technical sense. This is the Greek term that also appears in
the citation of Isa 7:14 in Matt 1:23. Therefore, regardless of the meaning
of the term in the OT context, in the NT Matthews usage of the Greek term
PARQENOS clearly indicates that from his perspective a virgin birth has
taken place.
