(KJV) Isaiah 4:1
1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
This verse seems to be the conclus…
Was Immanuel (עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us") a legitimate name that predated Isaiah’s writing it? Was it something that you might actually name your baby boy? Or is it a made-up symbolic name just like Isaiah’s Maher-shalal-hash-baz…
Isaiah 11:6-9 reads:

Isaiah 46:5 ASV To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and
