No book of the Hebrew scriptures, the Old Testament, mentions Jesus or indeed anyone being born of a virgin.
In Christian tradition, Isaiah 7:14 supposedly says that a virgin would conceive and bear a child, and the Gospel of Matthew relies on this as evidence that the virginity of Mary had been prophesied. Isaiah 7:14, in the original Hebrew, actually says, "the young woman", and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The problem arose in Matthew'sreliance on a mistranslation in the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. Even if the Septuagint was not really a translation error, it still would not refer to Jesus, because it never mentions his name, that of Mary nor anything that could realistically identify them.
