@vegashotflash And where do you think Brigham Young got it from? He wasn’t born Mormon. He was a Methodist until his 20s. The curse of Cain was old Christian tradition hundreds of years before BY. Look it up.
@John_Stone_ I’m more offended that you are a Creationist and believe in ex-nihilism, than your weak assumptions and failed wit because it makes you feel uncomfortable.
For 160 years, "Nahom" in the Book of Mormon was a name that didn't exist anywhere on Earth.
Joseph Smith dictated it in 1829 — the desert place where Ishmael was buried in 1 Nephi 16:34. The text uses the passive: "the place which was CALLED Nahom." Lehi (a prophet in the BofM) didn't name it. It was already there.
In 1988, German archaeologists excavating the Bar'an Temple at Marib in Yemen recovered three votive altars donated by men of the NHM tribe — dated to the 7th–6th centuries BC. Same name. Same century. Same region.
In Hebrew, NHM means "to comfort." In Arabic, NHM means "to mourn." Both meanings collapse onto the very moment a father-in-law was buried in the wilderness.
How could a 23-year-old farmboy in upstate New York have named an Arabian tribal burial ground in 1829 that wasn't excavated until 1988?

Gotcha! 🤣
