Not for the first time with SDMB I had massive Bader Meinhof phenomenon with this… Having never heard of the difference between the traditional Jewish and Christian translations of Isaiah 7:14, prior to this thread. I just rewatched Snatch. In the opening scene Benicio Del Toro’s character (who is about to pull off a heist dressed as orthodox jew) is bizarrely giving a long monologue on that very subject and how that in his opinion the whole of catholicism is based on a mistranslation. Of course you could argue it’s not ‘true’ Bader Meinhof phenomenon (whatever that means) as I have seen Snatch before multiple times and not noticed this bit of dialog. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-there-bible-verses-that-jews-and-christians-disagree-on-the-translation/951084)._
