32.37 – “nourish…get root” Alma might be referencing Zenos’ allegory with these terms, both of which are used many times in Jacob 5. He makes direct reference to Zenos in later in his sermon (see Alma 33:3). See here.
32.42 – “sweet…white…filled” Alma is referencing the fruit of the tree of life. Compare 1 Nephi 8:11-12. See here.
