This, of course, brings up the annoying point that the New Testament
seems to egregiously mistranslate the OT on several occasions.

E.g., in the OT a 'young woman' becomes pregnant, whereas in the NT
it's a 'virgin.'

E.g., in the Hebrew version of Genesis God creates something and then
'a span of time' goes by, whereas in the Christian version it is
a 'day.'

Of course at this point I would be making trouble if I mentioned Jesus
complaining about those who adhere to the 'letter' of the Law versus
those who stick to the "Spirit' of the Law.
