What about Genesis 17:19?
Genesis 17:19 בראשית
17:19וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים אֲבָל֙ שָׂרָ֣ה אִשְׁתְּךָ֗ יֹלֶ֤דֶת לְךָ֙ בֵּ֔ן וְקָרָ֥אתָ אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ יִצְחָ֑ק וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֥י אִתּ֛וֹ לִבְרִ֥ית עוֹלָ֖ם לְזַרְע֥וֹ אַחֲרָֽיו׃
It says: "...Sarah is begetting (will beget) (will bear) a son for you (Abraham), and you will call his name..." or "and she will call his name..."
Does it change from Sarah naming the child to Abraham or not?

Are you talking about the vowels? If you had to read it with just the letters only, is it explicit?

The difference is between ויקרא “and he called” and ותקרא “and she called” (yod versus tav).Kenneth Greifer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 10:40 am Jason,

Re: The Temporal Horizon of the Immanuel Oracle
I think you are saying that Genesis 17:19 says "and she will call his name Isaac" because the verb doesn't change in an obvious way to show that Abraham will name the child instead of her.Jason Hare wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:54 amWhen that happens, the gender is explicit.Kenneth Greifer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 10:20 amIn Genesis 21:3, it says Abraham named Isaac.Kenneth Greifer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 9:15 pm

Re: The Temporal Horizon of the Immanuel Oracle
I wasn’t making a specific statement about Genesis 17:19. There are several verses with this type of expression. One issue is that וקראת is ambiguous when unpointed. It could be וְקָרָאתָ (masculine) or וְקָרָאת (feminine). This is the form when it is referring to the future rather than to the past (which was in my last post: ויקרא versus ותקרא). The specific form in Isaiah 7:14 could go either way. It seems that וקראת could also be an alternative form of וקראה, which is 3fs. An argument cannot be made from the form, though it is best (IMO) to go with the feminine third-person singular.
One example of וקראת being 3fs is:
One example of וקראת being 3fs is:
Deuteronomy 31:29
כִּ֣י יָדַ֗עְתִּי אַחֲרֵ֤י מוֹתִי֙ כִּֽי־הַשְׁחֵ֣ת תַּשְׁחִת֔וּן וְסַרְתֶּ֣ם מִן־הַדֶּ֔רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֖יתִי אֶתְכֶ֑ם וְקָרָ֨את אֶתְכֶ֤ם הָֽרָעָה֙ בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית הַיָּמִ֔ים כִּֽי־תַעֲשׂ֤וּ אֶת־הָרַע֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לְהַכְעִיס֖וֹ בְּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יְדֵיכֶֽם׃
In this verse, the subject of this verb is הָֽרָעָה, a feminine singular noun.כִּ֣י יָדַ֗עְתִּי אַחֲרֵ֤י מוֹתִי֙ כִּֽי־הַשְׁחֵ֣ת תַּשְׁחִת֔וּן וְסַרְתֶּ֣ם מִן־הַדֶּ֔רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֖יתִי אֶתְכֶ֑ם וְקָרָ֨את אֶתְכֶ֤ם הָֽרָעָה֙ בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית הַיָּמִ֔ים כִּֽי־תַעֲשׂ֤וּ אֶת־הָרַע֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לְהַכְעִיס֖וֹ בְּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יְדֵיכֶֽם׃

Jason,
I guess we agree that Isaiah 7:14 could say "and you will call his name" or 'and she will call his name." Thanks for discussing it in more detail.
