It occurs nine times in the Hebrew Bible. Etymology and social context ''Almah'' derives from a root meaning "to be full of vigour, to have reached puberty". In the ancient Near East girls received value as potential wives and bearers of children: "A wife, who came into her husband's household as an outsider, contributed her labor and her fertility ... r task was to build up the ''bet 'ab'' by bearing children, particularly sons" (Leeb, 2002). Scholars thus agree that ''almah'' refers to a woman of childbearing age without implying virginity. From the same root, the corresponding masculine word ''elem'' עֶלֶם 'young man' also ...

picture info	Almah (Egyptian Dancer) Almah or Almeh ( arz, عالمة ' , plural ' , from Arabic: ' "to know, be learned") was the name of a class of courtesans or female entertainers in Egypt, women educated to sing and recite classical poetry and to discourse wittily, connected to the ''qayna'' slave singers. They were educated girls of good social standing, trained in dancing, singing and poetry, present at festivals and entertainments, and hired as mourners at funerals. The Awalim were first introduced as singers, not dancers-cum-prostitutes, according to Edward William Lane's book, ''Manner and Costumes of modern Egyptians''. Lane additionally wrote that the Almah didn't display herself at all, but sang from behind a screen or from another room at weddings and other respectable festivities. Consequently, the Awalem were not subject to exile in Upper Egypt. In the 19th century, ''almeh'' came to be used as a synonym to all the erotic local dancers who usually came from very poor backgrounds and sometimes con ...
