If you are looking for some really great reading on how the Bible came to be the Bible and how we can trust its reliability, I recommend The Canon of the Scripture by F.F. Bruce. It is a thorough read and, I think, quite enjoyable.

It is helpful to understand that there is not only a Hebrew version of the Old Testament but also a Greek version. Understanding that simple reality helps shape our understanding of the Hebrew word "young woman" rendered as "virgin" when quoted by Matthew. Some people will argue that Matthew misquotes Isaiah, but it is a simple misunderstanding. Matthew refers to Greek texts rather than Hebrew ones.

What is really fascinating is that the New Testament authors and teachers quote from both versions of the Old Testament. There are dozens of ways this plays out across the pages of the Bible, and it will help you better understand the Scripture as a whole. Stephen, in the Book of Acts, is a Greek-speaking Jew. Of course, he references the Greek version of the Old Testament.

Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.

We must really grasp what is being said in Isaiah 6 8-10. "Say to this people: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.' Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed." God told Isaiah to proclaim to the people that they would NOT understand him or perceive him. It was a sad reality that the people of Israel were to face. They were destined to hear God's words, see God's work, and yet still miss him in the midst of it.

However, this prophecy did not end with the people Isaiah spoke to directly; instead, it carried forward to the Jews of Jesus' and the Apostles' days. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus spoke in parables so that people would NOT understand. (People still say things like, "Preachers need to preach in parables just like Jesus did so that the crowds can better understand." They miss entirely the words of Jesus that he spoke in parables so that the people would NOT repent and turn to him. The reason for such an intent becomes clear in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, "If they had understood, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory."
