Matthew 1:23
Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
23 “The ‘virgin’ [‘almah: maid(en), damsel, etc..] will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel.”[a] (Immanuel means “ ‘God’ [ha-Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Judges, the-Angels, etc..] with us.”)”
Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon:
Virgin: 5959 `almah al-maw’ feminine of 5958; a lass (as veiled or private):–damsel, maid[en], virgin.
G-d: 430 ‘elohiym el-o-heem’ plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:–angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great[-ones], judges, X mighty[-ones].
