Abstract

Many Book of Mormon scholars have attempted to determine the course that Lehi and his family took when they fled Jerusalem to travel to the promised land. In his record, Nephi provided place-names and geographical descriptions, but that information is not sufficient to make conclusive claims. This article draws on the experiences and research of others to discuss the possible locations of the Valley of Lemuel, Shazer, the area where Nephi’s bow broke, Nahom, and Bountiful.

Nahom
Arabia
Jerusalem
Sariah
Ancient Near East
Promised Land
Valley of Lemuel
Bountiful (Old World)
Shazer
Lehi (Prophet)
