The name ABEL refers in the Book of Mormon only to the biblical figure. [1]
Notes
- ↑ Though the Hebrew PN hevel is, according to the 1958 edition of Köhler-Baumgartner Lexicon, p. 224, and in contemporary Bible dictionaries and other reference works, related to the Akkadian aplu/ablu, "son," and not the Hebrew hevel, "(transitory) breath, wind, exhalation; vanity," it is uncertain from what root the name derives in subsequent editions of Köhler-Baumgartner.
