Abstract
This article is a technical study of Hebrew grammar and idioms found profusely throughout the Book of Mormon. Compound Hebrew prepositions, plural compounds, and over three dozen examples of Hebrew idioms are given in the article. These studies support the idea that the Book of Mormon was originally written in Hebrew.
