In early 1830, as the Book of Mormon was at press, Joseph Smith sent some trusted agents to Canada to secure the copyright to the Book of Mormon in that country and throughout the British Commonwealth. The trip, however, was unsuccessful. The recently rediscovered text of the revelation behind this episode and additional historical and legal evidence provides context to this often neglected but important incident in the early history of the Restoration.

Latter-day Saints are no strangers to the fact that even the best, brightest, and spiritually strongest of them can have the Church withdraw fellowship from them. Such was the case with the Church's "second elder" (Doctrine and Covenants 20:3) Oliver Cowdery. Despite being one of the founding members of the Church and the many miraculous experiences he had with the Angel Moroni and the Restoration, Cowdery was excommunicated in April 1838. Happily, Cowdery returned to the Church and was rebaptized on November 12, 1848. What did Oliver do while he was out of the Church? Why did he return? What can today's Latter-day Saints learn from Oliver's experiences of being excommunicated and returning to the Church? Read this KnoWhy to find out.

On the dawn of one of the most daring and dangerous events of World War II, the typical soldier would hardly be thinking deep thoughts about puzzling intellectual problems. But then again, Hugh Nibley was not the typical World War II soldier. He said, ““As we were a couple of feet under water, that it really hit me—how astonishing the Book of Mormon truly is.” In this video, we will show how Nibley’s pioneering research on Lehi’s trail in Arabia provided the foundation for additional discoveries by other researchers generally confirming and enriching his early hunches.

Whatever imperfections Sidney Rigdon had, he was a defender and advocate of the divine truthfulness of the Book of Mormon from the time he became converted until his dying breath. For that, he deserves gratitude from believers in the Book of Mormon today, as well as for his many other important and dedicated contributions in building up of the kingdom of God during the earliest years of the Restoration.

Hiram Page is best remembered among Latter-day Saints as the subject of the revelation given to Joseph Smith now canonized as section 28 of the Doctrine and Covenants where the Lord appoints Joseph Smith as the only one authorized to receive revelation on behalf of the whole Church. However, Page is also counted among the eight witnesses who hefted the plates from which the Book of Mormon was translated and gave their names to the world to testify to the plates' reality. This KnoWhy tracks Page's contributions to the Restoration--including his abiding witnesses to the Book of Mormon's divinity--up to his early death in the 1850s.

Martin Harris made the most significant contribution to the early establishment and growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he mortgaged his farm to help pay for the printing and binding of the first 5000 copies of the Book of Mormon.

This ongoing trend shows that God’s promise to the Three Witnesses continues to be fulfilled today and increasing archaeological evidence supports the Book of Mormon. It also gives people today reason to exercise faith when confronting unanswered questions about ancient scripture. Read more at:

In 1825, Joseph Smith and his father Joseph Sr. were hired by a man named Josiah Stowell to help dig for treasure in an old Spanish silver mine. Stowell hired Joseph specifically upon hearing of a miraculous gift he possessed to see the unseen. In 1826, Peter Bridgeman, one of Stowell's nephews, charged Joseph Smith with being a "disorderly person"--a charge issued against many people including those that pretended to see treasure by magical means to defraud people of their money--and brought him to court in Bainbridge, New York. This charge and subsequent court trial has brought on speculation by many critics intent on showing Joseph Smith was a con artist and thus undermining his credibility in claiming that he received divine direction to translate an ancient record of scripture, to establish a church, and so forth. This KnoWhy examines the relevant historical documents and demonstrates, upon examining all available evidence about the trial, that Joseph Smith was likely acquitted of the charge.

When Moroni visited Joseph Smith on the night of September 21, 1823, he did more than just tell him about “a book deposited, written upon gold plates,” though that was the primary purpose of his visit (Joseph Smith—History 1:34). He also quoted various biblical prophecies, indicating that they were soon to be fulfilled (JS—H 1:36–40). Among those prophecies was Malachi 3–4, but Joseph remembered that when quoting Malachi 4, there was “a little variation from the way it reads in our Bibles” (JS—H 1:36). https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/knowhy/why-did-moroni-quote-malachi-about-elijahs-coming

In the Old Testament, people were often warned that if they did not repent, they would die and their bodies—instead of being properly buried—would be devoured by wild animals. Such a fate was seen by many ancient peoples not only as a tragedy, as it would be today, but a disgrace and an indication of divine judgment. That judgment would carry over into the afterlife, where a person’s role and identity was thought to be determined and facilitated by where and how their body was buried.

Throughout the Book of Mormon a set of synonymous (or near-synonymous) legal terms is often used to emphasize the righteousness or obedience of a group or an individual.

After the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, the buried their weapons of war and covenanted to never shed blood again. Shortly thereafter, they are attacked by their unconverted brethren, and allow themselves to be slain rather than fight back. Because of this moving and courageous act, some have called the Anti-Nephi-Lehies "pacifists," but various details in their story illustrate that this is not entirely accurate. Rather than a principled renunciation of war, it seems the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were renouncing their past participation in a truly murderous and blood-thirsty culture.

It can be easy to think that Alma the Younger was converted by an angel, and thus wish that we could personally have such miraculous experiences in order to become truly converted. However, a careful analysis of Alma’s story reveals that true conversion does not come from dramatic experiences external to ourselves, like seeing an angel; rather, rather it comes through the inward, personal struggle to repent and turn our hearts to Christ, allowing his atonement to cleanse of our sins and turn us into “new creatures.” Alma’s rebirth and conversion is literarily illustrated in Mosiah 27 by setting out 8 contrasting parallels between his behavior before conversion and his changed behavior after he is “born of God.” This contrast illustrates that Alma changed completely and totally, in every way, from who he was before his conversion, demonstrating that true and lasting conversion has a comprehensive impact on how we live our lives.

Come Follow Me Q&A for Mosiah 4-6 with Neal Rappleye by Come, Follow Me with Scripture Central

To conclude his historic speech, King Benjamin expressed the hope that his people “should be steadfast and immoveable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his”. In the ancient biblical world, seals were used to make important political pronouncements, legal contracts, and religious actionss official. In the ancient Near East, seals validated the legal ownership of goods and materials. They marked and limited the right to possess objects to the person in whose name they were sealed. Thus, within an ancient Israelite context, to be sealed as Christ’s is to be literally marked with His name, as belonging to Him. The practice of sealing documents was also meant to ensure their authenticity and integrity. Seals protected the contents of a document or container from tampering. Thus, when Christ “seals you his” he is, in effect, attesting to or protecting your integrity and purity. With this ancient context in mind, we understand the importance of the sealing power. Those whom Christ has “sealed” as His are they on whom Christ has placed His name. Because they have this name written upon their hearts, He can claimthem as His own. They are His, and He will protect and care for them always. And now you know why

When Benjamin is preparing Mosiah to be crowned king, he “gave him charge” over the plates of brass and the plates of Nephi, along with the sword of Laban and the ball/director (Liahona). Why were these items important to pass on and preserve? Many scholars have pointed out that they were both sacred objects representing God’s hand in leading the Nephites to the promised land and emblems of Nephite kingship which established the credibility and legitimacy of the Nephite rulers.

Speaking at the newly built Nephite temple, near the time Nephi was crowned king, during one of the Israelite autumn festivals, Jacob provided a list of ten “woes” similar to the Ten Commandments. Jacob does not simply repeat the exact same ten commandments, however. He makes changes and adaptations based on the circumstances of his people. For example, he modified the law again homicide in a way to ensure Nephi’s slaying of Laban could not be misunderstood as a violation of the law. Jacob’s adaptation of the original Ten Commandments illustrates the ancient scriptural precedent for continued clarifications of the Lord’s standards, such as with the recent adjustments to the temple recommend interview questions.

It is important to acknowledge that not everything Columbus did was inspired by God. Nephi only says the Spirit would inspire him to cross the many waters. He says nothing that endorses Columbus’s actions after he arrives in the promised land. Indeed, as Nephi prophesied, the arrival of this “man among the Gentiles” led to the tragic scattering and smiting of the Lamanites throughout the New World (1 Nephi 13:14). Some historians have all argued persuasively that Columbus was driven by a religious worldview in which he saw himself playing a crucial role as God’s instrument in the unfolding events of the end times.

The great and spacious building in Lehi's dream was identified by the angel as representing "the pride and vain imaginations of the children of men" (1 Nephi 12:18). Lehi's contemporary Jeremiah speaks of the pride of Jerusalem and her people. The Hebrew word used by Jeremiah means "to be/become high." The word imaginations may be based upon a Hebrew word also found in Jeremiah which denotes a kind of defiant stubbornness in opposition to God which leads to calamity. Vanity (as in vain) is likely based on a Hebrew word meaning "vapor" and often signifies something that is fleeting, worthless, and does not last.

Continuing on with the notion that some of the New Testament material in the Book of Mormon may actually have originally come from the Old Testament, Part 6 of this series will present evidence that indicates that, in some instances, the New Testament and the Book of Mormon may have both been quoting from similar collections of Old Testament passages that were circulated in ancient times. With this in mind, the Book of Mormon’s use of groups of scriptural passages similar to those used in places in the New Testament can be seen not as a cheap imitation of the New Testament but more likely as the use of a similar ancient collection of biblical passages on a given topic.

Acts 2 records Peter’s words to the gathered multitude on the day of Pentecost. After testifying that “God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ” (v. 36), the people he was addressing “were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Peter’s response to the crowd will probably sound familiar to you because it summarizes some of the basics of the gospel: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” (v. 38).

The good news that Jesus is risen from the dead is a message of light and joy for a dark and weary world. The testimony of New Testament witnesses confirms that he He lives and because He lives we may also have eternal life if we will follow Him. He was seen of Mary at the tomb, and angels declared His resurrection to other righteous women of faith (Mark 16:1–7; Luke 24:1–10; John 20:11–18). He was seen by Peter, James, Thomas and the apostles and other disciples who saw, spoke, ate with Him and touched the wounds in His hands, feet and side (Luke 24:13–43; John 20:19–31). As John testified, “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life” (1 John 1:1). Peter testified, “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty” (2 Peter 1:16).

Another likely source for phrases in the Book of Mormon that seem to match parts of the New Testament is the plates of brass that Lehi’s family had in their possession. Far more often than readers usually realize, many New Testament passages are quoting or paraphrasing Old Testament texts that could have been available to the Nephites through the plates of brass. Although this is not the case for all New Testament material in the Book of Mormon, this perspective can be a helpful one for those who encounter New Testament language in their Book of Mormon reading and want to know why it is there. Readers can analyze the relevant New Testament passages (and perhaps consult biblical commentaries and other scholarly resources) to see if the New Testament author may have been utilizing a more ancient Old Testament text in his writing.

Jesus and other heavenly messengers spoke to Book of Mormon prophets before the Savior's appearance in the New World, These prophets may have learned New Testament-like phrases directly from them. Part 4 of this series will discuss specific examples of this potential source of New Testament language in the Book of Mormon. Note that Nephi and the apostle John were given essentially the same vision (1 Nephi 14:24–25), although they were greatly separated by time and space. If the Holy Ghost was able to give the same vision to both Nephi and John, He may have done the same for other prophets in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon itself is “another testament of Jesus Christ” which contains many teachings, prophecies, and revelations that confirm and further help us understand similar ideas revealed in the Bible.

The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the most central doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Latter-day Saints believe that all mankind can be saved through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and that He can empathize with all the sufferings, infirmities, and pain inherent to mortality. Throughout the history of Christ’s restored Church, its leaders and members have put sacred emphasis on Gethsemane as the place where Christ suffered for mankind’s sins and afflictions. Thus, for many Latter-day Saints, Gethsemane has become a central focus of Christ’s Atonement. However, both ancient and modern prophets have encouraged us to also look to the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ as the source of salvation.

The Book of Mormon describes a series of catastrophes in the New World land of promise at the time of the death of Jesus at Jerusalem. These events correlate very well with accounts of natural disasters associated with volcanic eruptions like those known in Mesoamerica, thought to be the most likely location for events in the Nephite record. Archaeologists have now documented a massive eruption which took place in late March or April during the first century AD., the most likely time of Christ's death. Read at bit.ly/know530

This Part 3 of our New Testament series will focus on evidence from the Book of Mormon narrative which indicates that some New Testament language present was introduced into the text through direct revelation from the Lord. Words close to Matthew 3:2–3 show up in Alma 7:9; 9:25; 10:20, and Helaman 5:32. In the case of Alma 7:9, and also in the other cases introduced into the discussion above, the words in question were delivered to Alma the Younger directly by the Holy Spirit. Amulek and others heard similar words from angels, and the Lamanites heard such words by a voice from heaven. In its own terms, the Book of Mormon supplies the origin of these messages, offering an answer to the question of why these words are found in the Book of Mormon. They are there because they were revealed on those occasions by revelation and the word of prophecy. Read at bit.ly/know529

Every week, Latter-day Saints gather in congregations across the world and partake of the sacrament. This act hearkens back to the Savior’s Last Supper, when He commanded His disciples to eat bread and drink wine—symbols of His body and blood—in “remembrance” of Him (Luke 22:19–20).1 In the sacrament prayers recorded in restoration scripture, we are likewise commanded to “always remember” the Savior (D&C 20:77, 79).

During his Sermon at the Temple, the Savior warned against "false prophets in sheep's clothing" who "inwardly are ravening wolves." The Book of Mormon is filled with examples of apostates and discontents who stirred up contention for their own gain. Just as the former day saints needed to be on their guard against such predators, so do Latter-day Saints today.

One of the most influential stories told by Jesus is the parable of the Good Samaritan. As a result of this scripture, people all over the world speak of being a Good Samaritan, of doing good for people who are in need. But as important as the parable’s ethical content obviously is, Jesus’ story may have more significance than most people ever imagine. An ancient but now almost forgotten tradition, extending back to the early days of Christianity, sees this tale as much more than a story or parable. According to this early Christian view, the narrative is a type and shadow of the plan of salvation.

Few of the parables of Jesus are better known than the story of the prodigal son. Readers often focus on the son who went away, but as some have pointed out, it is in fact a story about two sons and a father who loves them both and wants them to experience a fullness of his fellowship and happiness. As John and Jeannie Welch observe, at its core, “the prodigal son is about repentance and joy.” It also teaches us about what can keep us from both.

In addition to the more obvious biblical writings that could have been present on the plates of brass, there is also language in the Book of Mormon that is similar to what we find in later sections of the Old Testament and also the New Testament. Beyond 3 Nephi 12-14, many other parallels or similarities to New Testament passages can be found throughout the Book of Mormon, the presence of which may be challenging to understand. According to some counts, approximately 850 phrases or passages from the Old Testament and 700 from the New Testament can be found in the Book of Mormon. There may be many reasons why biblical words and phrases show up in the Book of Mormon, several of which are explained briefly in this KnoWhy. Although we do not know for sure which explanation, or combination of explanations, stands behind each of the many Old and New Testament phrases found in the Book of Mormon, it is important to remember that the Book of Mormon was written by ancient prophets but was meant to be read by people in our time – people who often know the Bible, especially the New Testament, well and are accustomed to recognizing KJV literary styles as holy scripture. As such, finding biblical language in the Book of Mormon may very well be a fulfillment of the ancient prophet Nephi’s inspired words when he taught that God “speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding” (2 Nephi 31:3; D&C 1:24). read at bit.ly/know525

The language of Mormon 9:22–24 is nearly identical to that of Mark 16:15–18, where the Savior gives a very similar commission to his Old World disciples. Yet some question whether the Savior really gave such a commission, in either the Old World or the New, since some of the earliest copies of the Gospel of Mark are missing the text in Mark 16:9–20. This textual absence, combined with other complicated textual and stylistic considerations, has led scholars to question whether Mark originally included verses 9–20, commonly referred to as the “long ending” of Mark. But before jumping to conclusions about the authenticity of either Mark 16:15–18, or Mormon 9:22–24, there are several considerations to keep in mind.

Throughout their lives, none of the witnesses of the Book of Mormon ever denied their testimonies. Yet some people have questioned the reality of their experiences, especially the encounter with the plates reported by the Three Witnesses. This is because these witnesses claimed to have beheld the gold plates in a vision, despite the fact that it seemed as real to them as everyday visual experiences. A comprehensive analysis of the statements made by the Three Witnesses demonstrates that they truly believed that what they had seen was real. Moreover, a key to correctly interpreting their statements can be found in the scriptures themselves, which demonstrate that it is difficult for people to tell whether or not they are in or out of their own natural bodies when beholding a vision.

One of the notable aspects of Jesus’ ministry is that He frequently taught using parables, or short religiously instructive stories “that make use of characters, situations, and customs familiar to their audience.” In fact, Jesus used nearly 50 parables and other metaphors during his ministry as recorded in the New Testament Gospels.

Jesus famously promised “rest” to all those “that labour and are heavy laden.” He directed them to “[t]ake my yoke upon you,” assuring them that “my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30). What did Jesus mean when he said that His “yoke” is easy? How does turning to Him make our own burdens light?

The KJV translation of Luke 22:43–44 depicts Jesus as bleeding great drops of bloody sweat.

However, New Testament scholarship has complicated the textual history and meaning of Luke 22:43–44.

The miracles of the New Testament symbolize different aspects of the Savior’s divinity, power, and love. One thing to note about these miracles, is how Jesus often used physical touch to heal. Jesus ministered to the one and cared individually for His followers, as is demonstrated by His personal touch in New Testament healing stories. He visited Jairus’ daughter in her home and took her by the hand (Mark 5:35–43; Matthew 9:23–26), He touched the eyes of two blind men as He healed them (Matthew 9:27–31), He touched and cleansed a leper (Matthew 8:1–4).

Latter-day Saints are familiar with the story recounted in the Pearl of Great Price of Martin Harris visiting with the scholar Charles Anthon. There is, however, much more to this account than what is recorded in this canonized history.

While some of the details of these visits are not fully known, these three "wise men" together inspired Martin Harris enough to convince him that Joseph Smith was telling the truth.

When Jesus gave his Sermon at the Temple in 3 Nephi, he taught his Nephite audience, “when ye pray, use not vain repetitions” (3 Nephi 13:7), just as he had taught his disciples in the Old World (Matthew 6:7). In light of this teaching, it should come as no surprise that there are differences in each version of the Lord’s Prayer recorded in scripture (Matthew 6:9–13; 3 Nephi 13:9–13; Luke 11:2–4). Looking specifically at the ways the Book of Mormon version is different from the two versions in the Bible, readers can gain at least three valuable insights.

When any trusted local or general leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints falls away from gospel truths or standards, it may cause faithful members who are aware of the situation to feel unsettled, uncertain, or confused.

While possible answers to this question are probably as unique as the various circumstances in which any case might arise, the Book of Mormon offers some divinely revealed insights on this topic.

In several ways, the authors and editors of the Book of Mormon offered commentary to help readers anticipate what will come next in its pages. Its writers informed readers about the content and structure of what would follow, testified to the truthfulness of impending narratives, and occasionally explained that further information would be provided about topics that had only been briefly discussed. These types of editorial promises—or, in other words, commitments to discuss or revisit certain topics—are plentifully scattered throughout the Book of Mormon.

Many ancient prophets as well as modern apostles and other general authorities have served their countries faithfully as members of the military. The prophet Mormon himself led the Nephite armies multiple times into battle. He was intimately familiar with the horrors of war.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the military can use the Book of Mormon to help give comfort and meaning to the chaos of war. The scriptures know the horrors of war that a soldier must go through. Present-day prophets, apostles and other general authorities also know for themselves the soldier’s pain.

This intent focus on Jesus Christ helps readers see how His life and mission are central to God’s plan for all of His children. Read at bit.ly/know484

Translations of the Book of Mormon into other languages have sometimes been miraculous, in their own small way. The translation of the Book of Mormon from English into Ukrainian is one such small miracle in Church history. Read at bit.ly/know483

In 3 Nephi 27, Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to call His Church after His own name. In association with this commandment, Jesus taught several principles that help establish and clarify its doctrinal basis. These principles can help readers better understand why prophets and apostles in our own day have emphasized the correct name of Christ’s Church. Read at bit.ly/know482

The lack of time related references in the record of Christ’s visitation at Bountiful may be due to the temple-related symbolism of His ministry. Read at bit.ly/know481

The Book of Mormon purports to be a translation of an ancient record of God's dealing with some of the inhabitants of the New World. In order for the book to carry the theological power it proclaims to have, it must be grounded on its professed historicity. Read at bit.ly/know480

By correlating details between Mormon’s letter (recorded in Moroni 9) and Mormon’s own record, it is possible to determine a narrow window of history in which Mormon likely wrote his letter. Read at bit.ly/know477

Ultimately, we cannot always know why or how some similarities exist between the Book of Mormon and ancient Jewish texts written after Lehi’s time, but in at least some cases, ancient Jewish authors may have preserved things that go back to before the time of Lehi. Read at bit.ly/know478

Through Christ’s atonement, all people can become absolutely clean. All He asks is that each person willingly turn to Him, thank Him for all that He has done and cured and fixed, and continue to lovingly and faithfully walk the path that leads to Him. Read at bit.ly/know479

The best-known words in all of the Book of Mormon may very well be Nephi’s opening line: “I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents.” Many ancient Near Eastern texts begin this way, and these texts help explain why Nephi would start his record the same way. Read at bit.ly/know476

Much of the Book of Mormon's chronology is based on the number of years which passed from the time Lehi left Jerusalem, which the is typically dated to "about 600 BC." A number of scholars have proposed more specific dates Lehi's departure, ranging from 605 BC-588 BC. Each proposed date has it's own strengths and weaknesses, and provides a slightly different context to consider for the background of the opening events in the Book of Mormon. Read at bit.ly/know475

Joseph Smith, Sr., had a number of remarkable dreams or visions in the years leading up to the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. One of these dreams is remarkably similar to the Tree of Life vision in the Book of Mormon. What is the relationship between Joseph Sr.'s vision and the Book of Mormon? Careful historical analysis reveals the matter is much more complicated than simple accusations of plagiarism might make it otherwise seem.

Rather than being a strange Nephite quirk, or filler that Joseph Smith inserted to make the book longer, as some might even assert, these long excerpts inserted into speeches are simply a reflection of how people experienced books in ancient times. Read at bit.ly/know473

Cimeters or curved bladed swords were known in the ancient Near East in Biblical times prior to Lehi's departure from Jerusalem. Although they were once considered out of place in the Nephite record, new evidence indicates that they were known in ancient Mesoamerica during the time of the Book of Mormon.

Because The Underworld Vision of an Assyrian Prince was not discovered until after the Book of Mormon was published, the similarities between this ancient Assyrian text and the Book of Mormon serve as evidence for the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Read at bit.ly/know471

Because the Book of Mormon mentions highways, readers may wonder if the remains of prominent ancient roads have been discovered in the Americas. Notable systems of highways were indeed constructed by several ancient American societies, and their remains have long been studied by archaeologists. The ancient Maya, in particular, constructed and used highways in a manner that fits the form and function of highways in the Book of Mormon. Read at bit.ly/know470

It has been common in LDS scholarship to compare Lehi, the founding patriarch-prophet of the Book of Mormon, to perhaps the most famous prophet in the Jerusalem of Lehi’s time, Jeremiah. However, there were many other prophets called by God at roughly the same time, including Habakkuk, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others. A study of the words and phrases used in the accounts of the prophetic callings and visions of these contemporaries reveals similarities that go beyond the common message of Jerusalem’s destruction.

Omni 1:26 encourages all people to offer their “whole souls as an offering” to God. This statement relates to the Law of Moses, and is a reminder that we should give ourselves to God symbolically, as animals were literally offered up to God under the Law of Moses. Read at bit.ly/know467

What do we know about the composition of Lehi's party which accompanied him into the wilderness? Based on a careful reading of Nephi's record, modern scholars have plausibly reconstructed the named, unnamed, and implied members of the group. Besides the families of Lehi and Ishmael, it is also possible that unmentioned "others" also accompanied Lehi's group. Read at bit.ly/know465

Who exactly were these “elders” mentioned by Zoram and why are readers not told more about them by Nephi? Because the Book of Mormon gives no more information about their identity, scholars have turned to the social institution of Israelite “elders” in the world of ancient Israel for further understanding.
