Mansfield said... As you have correctly pointed out, betulah is generally translated "virgin." The word is defined in the HALOT as a "grown-up girl without any sexual experience with men...who has no husband." It might also be significant that in the LXX, the word παρθένος/parthenos is used, which specifically means "virgin" and is the same word that the LXX uses in Isa 7:14 and Matt 1:23.
