    Section 3 Chronology of the Book of Mormon Charts 26–40 Chronology Chart 26 Life Spans of Lehi’s Lineage Key Scripture 1 Nephi–Omni Explanation This chart shows the lineage of Lehi and approximate life spans of him and his descendants, from Nephi to Amaleki, who were re- sponsible for keeping the historical and doctrinal records of their people. Each bar on the chart represents an individual record keeper’s life. Although the Book of Mormon does not give the date of Nephi’s death, it makes good sense to assume that he was approximately seventy-five years old when he died. Source John W.

  • TEACHINGS of the BOOK of MORMON HUGH NIBLEY Semester 2, Lecture 32 Mosiah 8–10 Ammon and Limhi the Record of Zeniff
    TEACHINGS OF THE BOOK OF MORMON HUGH NIBLEY Semester 2, Lecture 32 Mosiah 8–10 Ammon and Limhi The Record of Zeniff We are on chapter 8 of Mosiah, and it is absolutely staggering what’s in here. I’ve been missing everything all these years. We can’t stop for everything, but nevertheless it’s jammed in here. Remember that Ammon has come to King Limhi and has been invited to speak to the king. He’s in the palace now, and it follows strictly the proper palace procedure as you get it in all the epics, etc. Limhi makes an end of speaking. He tells his story, and then he invites the guest to speak and tell his story. This is a thing that is common in epics, of course. When Odysseus comes to the Phaeacians, the king of the Phaeacians is Alcinous, and he gives a long speech that runs through two books explaining how they happened to get there. Then he says to the guest as he is about to leave at the beginning of the ninth book, “Now tell us your story.” So Odysseus starts out, “I am Odysseus, the son of Laertes, noted throughout the world for my sufferings [everybody is watching my sufferings] and my fame goes to heaven. I live in Ithica [and he describes what a beautiful land it is]. It’s rough but it’s a good land, a nourisher of people rather than nothing.” The way it skips along is a marvelous thing, and then two lines later he tells how he lived for ten years with the nymph Calypso.
