- Connecting this verse with the preceding and following, we may render with Dr. Jubb and Lowth, "Behold the virgin (haalmah as the word uniformly signifies, "Behold,¹ I¹ standª° by¹ the wellª of water;ª and it shall come to pass,¹ that when the virginª cometh forthª° to drawª° [water], and I sayª° to¹ her, Give me,²° I pray thee,¹ a littleª waterª of thy pitcherª¹ to drink;ª°" {Gen 24:43} + "And Pharaoh'sª daughterª saidª° to her, Go.²°¹ And the maidª went²°¹ and calledª° the child'sª¹ mother.ª" {Exd 2:8} + "Blessª° ye Godª in the congregations,ª [even] the Lord,²¹ from the fountainª¹ of Israel.ª" {Psa 68:26} + "The wayª of an eagleª in the air;ª the wayª of a serpentª upon¹ a rock;ª the wayª of a shipª in the midstª of the sea;ª and the wayª of a manª with a maid.ª" {Prv 30:19} + "Because of the savourª of thy goodª ointmentsª thy nameª [is as] ointmentª poured forth,ª° therefore¹¹ do the virginsª loveª° thee." {Sgs 1:3} + "There¹ are threescoreª queens,ª and fourscoreª concubines,ª and virginsª without¹ number.ª" {Sgs 6:8}) shall conceive and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Immanuel; butter and honey shall he eat when he shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good. For," etc. "And it shall come to pass,¹ for the abundanceª¹ of milkª [that] they shall giveª° he shall eatª° butter:ª for¹ butterª and honeyª shall every one¹ eatª° that is leftª° in² the land.ª" {Isa 7:22} + "Andª the sameª Johnª hadª° his²¹ raimentª ofª camel'sª hair,ª andª a leathernª girdleª aboutª hisª loins;ª andª his²¹ meatª wasª° locustsª andª wildª honey.ª" {Mtt 3:4}
