Did you know that one of the most iconic verses in the Book of Alma is evidence for real Hebrew influence in the Book of Mormon?
.
In Alma 7:11, the high priest Alma the Younger testifies that eventually the Messiah will come, “And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.”
.
Book of Mormon scholars believe that in this verse, Alma is intentionally quoting Isaiah 53:4, but Alma's quotation ends up being more accurate than the KJV and more reflective of real Hebrew literary practices!
