A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Hebrew

by George Reynolds

HEBREW. This word only appears in one verse of the Book of Mormon (Mormon, 9:33), where it occurs three times; always referring to a language and in connection with the engravings on the Nephite records. The language to which this name was applied in the days of Mormon and Moroni was greatly changed from the Hebrew spoken by the Israelites at the time Lehi left Jerusalem, nearly a thousand years before.
