Lexical notes

Verse 12

Course 

While we have no idea what the orignial term translated here as "course" may have meant, in English, the word has several definitions, most of which suggest a connected series events which could be seen as a type of path or sequence:

• A series of educational lessons (eg. "she took a course in linguistics")
• A connected series of events, actions, or developments (eg. "the Senate took a firm course")
• A sport facility laid out with a sequence of features (eg. a golf course)
• A mode of action (eg. "his plan was on the wrong course")
• A pathalong which something travels or moves (eg. "the course of a river")
• A general line of orientation (eg. "the highway takes a mountainous course")
• Part of a meal served at one time (eg. "she served a four course meal")
• A layer of masonry (eg. "a course of bricks")

The word "course" occurs 24 times in the Book of Mormon, most often in reference to a path or direction of travel (eg. Mosiah 7:4, Alma 46:31) but also in the phrase "course of my days" (eg. 1 Ne 1:1, Enos 1:24).

Additional comments

• The phrase "one eternal round" does not occur in the Bible, but is found four other times in Latter-day scriptures: 1 Ne 10:19, Alma 7:20, D&C 3:2, and D&C 35:1.
