Questions
[edit]
Verse 1
- What does it mean to go "up"? Does that mean in elevation, northward, or what?
- Is there a difference between the "land" and the "city" of Lehi-Nephi.
- What does the word "teasings" mean here?
[edit]
Verse 2
- Why would the king need to "grant" the men to go on the expedition to Lehi-Nephi?
- Is there a significance to the number 16, or does this just happen to be the number of men chosen to go?
[edit]
Verse 3
- Who is this Ammon? Did King Mosiah name his own son after this "descendant of Zarahemla"? If so, why? Was Mosiah perhaps married to a high-ranking "descendant of Zarahemla" himself? Perhaps even a relative (daughter or sister) of Ammon? Why was a "descendant of Zarahemla" sent out as a leader of a Nephite expedition? Was he just the leader of this party, or did he have a leadership role within his own people, perhaps as a direct descendant of the previous Mulekite King Zarahemla?
[edit]
Verse 4
- What is the significance of the men wandering 40 days? How and where else is the phrase "forty days" used in the scriptures? How often is this phrase associated with "wilderness" and mountains or hills?
