From Isaac Mozeson’s dictionary, “The Word” , the root for Alma is in Hebrew and is found in the OT.
Quote; ALUM(NI) [A]LMOAT Ayin-Lamed-Mem-Vav-Tof
ALM(OS)_or AL-MOTE _______________________[ALM]
ROOTS: ALUMNUS in Latin doesn’t only mean a pupil - graduating or not - but a foster son. The feminine counterpart is ALUMNA.
Similarly, [E]LeM (young man, as in I Samuel 17:56—see “MALE”) is countered by the better known term [A]LMaH (young woman, as in Canticles or Songs 6:8).
ALME, listed in some English dictionaries, is an Arabic term for a dancing girl. It is derived from alimah (learned), implying that the young ladies are ALUMNI from a dance academy.unquote
I find it interesting that you think there is corroboration for Mormonism in the Dead Sea Scrolls, because I am a student of the book of 1 Enoch, as well as of the OT and NT, and there is nothing in 1 Enoch which upholds Mormonism, but rather Mormonism is totally refuted by the contents of 1 Enoch. and 1 Enoch is shown to be the foundational writing for all these doctrines of the OT and NT:
the doctrine of the Trinity;
the doctrine of the Everlasting Lake of Fire;
the doctrine of Adam/Man as a triune being of body, soul, and spirit;
the doctrine of the everlasting lake of fire -the Abyss
[and who it is prepared for and why and who will have a share in it and why];
the doctrine of the Son of Man -who is now come in human being flesh- and the doctrine of His being God who was with God and who was God, who is God the Word/Oath, who created all things, and who is the only Seen image of the Unseen/invisible God, who was to come and in whose name the sons of Adam could be redeemed, and who would restore all things by regeneration and return them to the Father for His Glory to indwell;
the doctrine of hell/sheol beneath the earth as a holding place for the departed souls, until the time appointed for them to come forth;
the doctrine of demons/evil spirits -where they came from and why they roam earth and when they will be removed and how they will be removed and where they will be removed to;
the doctrine of the resurrection of the body [of all born in Adam, for the demons do not get resurrection bodies, as they are disembodied spirits of the sons of God, who were born of the daughters of Adam; and they are the dead who “will not rise”];
the doctrine of the Book of deeds of good and evil;
the doctrine of the Book of Life;
the doctrine of the Throne of Glory which the Son of Man is seated upon;
the doctrine of guardian angels;
the doctrine of the principalities and powers, rulers of darkness and why they rule and when they will be removed and where they will be removed to;
the doctrine of the great tribulation which is to come, and by which all the wicked and godless are to be removed from the earth -forever;
the doctrine of the regeneration of the heavens and the earth;
the doctrine of the City of God in heaven;
the doctrine of the temple of God in heaven;
the doctrine of the archangels;
the doctrine of the watchers;
the doctrine of the satans;
the doctrine of the Cherubim;
the names of the seven chief archangels, and their duties before God.
The doctrine of torment in hell beneath for the departed wicked souls;
the doctrine of the rest and refreshing springs of water for the departed souls who were righteous by faith [who waited there in Sheol beneath earth for the Day of Atonement when hell gave them back at the resurrection of the Son of God, human kind/Jesus the Christ/God come in flesh as Kinsman.
In brief: Enoch refutes all false doctrines about the PErson and work of Jesus Christ, and comfirms the doctrine of Jesus Christ as the Living Oracles committed only to the namesake people of the New Man name [Israel is that name, as the Father calls Him; Isaiah 49], which oracles typed and shdowed His Person and work for all Adamkind -to come, when He was to come, as YHWH, in flesh; and who is the only Person in YHWH whom any created being has ever, does ever, or shall ever, see.
