The term is used throughout the Book of Mormon to describe the religious, political, and cultural traditions of the group of settlers.

In the Book of Mormon, the Liahona (/ ˌ l iː ə ˈ h oʊ n ə /) [1] is described as a brass ball with two spindles, one of which directs where Lehi and his companions should travel after they leave Jerusalem at the beginning of the narrative. Some early participants in the Latter Day Saint movement claimed to have seen the Liahona.
Nephi also mentions having sisters, though he does not give their names or birth orders. Little is known about Nephi's children. Religious scholar Grant Hardy suggests that all of Nephi's children may have been daughters at the time of passing on the record, or that his sons were influenced by Laman and Lemuel; his speculations are based on the fact that Nephi says he has children yet passes ...
