Almah ("????") or plural: alamot ("?????") is a Hebrew feminine noun, for
a girl who has reached puberty but is still under the shielding protection
of her family; she is a young, marriageable (i.e. unmarried) girl. In
Bibles, almah is typically translated as virgin, maiden, young woman,
damsel or girl. For theological reasons, the meaning and definition of this
word (especially the definition of "virgin") can be controversial,
particularly when applied to 14.
Definitions and etymology The masculine root of almah is elem ("???")
meaning "youth" or "young man of the age of puberty". [LINK:
