Mary and the birth of Jesus

Used because Miriam is called an almah while presented as an unmarried young girl, supporting the claim that the term carries virgin connotations.

Cited by a Muslim participant as support for Aaron's lineage while debating Mary/Jesus lineage issues, which the hosts then used to accuse him of relying selectively on the Bible.

Used to show that the Hebrew word often translated 'virgin' (betulah) is explicitly qualified by 'no man had known her,' which the hosts used to argue that the other term almah ...

Cited because Rebekah, already established as sexually untouched, is later called an almah; this was used to argue that almah naturally fits 'virgin.'

This verse was cited in the alma debate as an example that allegedly means 'young woman' rather than 'virgin'; the host replied that Rebekah was still a virgin.

Used to argue that the 'seed of the woman' points ahead to a miraculous birth and thus supports the virgin birth theme.
