Questions
- Why is it that Alma has success in preaching where Abinadi didn't? Or did they have different callings or objectives?
[edit]
Verse 4
- Is this verse offered as an etymology of the name "Mormon"? In other words, did the king call the place "Mormon" because it was in the borders of the land or because it was infested with wild beasts, the implication is that this is the meaning of "Mormon"?
- What do we make of the name Mormon coming from the wicked king Noah?
- What does it mean to be "infested, by times or at seasons, by wild beasts"? What kind of animals might these have been, and why would an influx of these animals constitute an infestation?
[edit]
Verse 5
- What is meant by a "fountain" of water? Why would it be considered pure water?
- What is meant here by a "thicket of small trees"? Is this an isolated cluster of trees in a cleared area, or a brushy area within a forest?
