释义 |
According to the Book of Mormon, Lehi ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|l|iː|h|aɪ}} {{respell|LEE|hy}})[1] was a prophet who lived in Jerusalem during the reign of king Zedekiah (approximately 600 BC).[2] Lehi was an Israelite of the Tribe of Manasseh, and father to Nephi, another prominent prophet in the Book of Mormon. In the first book of the Book of Mormon, First Nephi, Lehi and Nephi lead their family out of Jerusalem, and across the sea to the "promised land" (the Americas). Mormon scholar Hugh Nibley has suggested that he was a merchant and contemporary of the Seven Wise Men of Greece.[3] The prophet is the namesake of the modern-day city of Lehi, Utah.[4] Life according to the Book of MormonAccording to the Book of Mormon, the families of Lehi, his friend Ishmael and another man named Zoram left Jerusalem some time before its destruction by the Babylonians in approximately 587 BC. Lehi's group proceeded southward down the Arabian Peninsula until they reached a location called Nahom. For some time, Lehi dwelt in a tent. {{lds|1 Nephi|1_ne|2|15}}[5] Ishmael is reported to have died by this time, and he was buried at this location.[6] From Nahom, the group proceeded in an eastward direction across the desert until they reached a fertile coastal region they named Bountiful,[7] where Lehi's son Nephi was instructed by the Lord to build a ship for the purpose of sailing across the ocean to the "promised land."[8] The party of men, women and children along with their animals boarded the ship and sailed until they reached the Americas.[9] The Book of Mormon relates that during his family's journey to the Americas and before his death, Lehi gave important teachings to his children and their posterity that were recorded by Nephi on metallic plates that were later used in compiling the Book of Mormon. FamilyUpon Lehi's death, his sons Nephi and Laman established two conflicting nations, the Nephites and the Lamanites, and as such he is considered one of the principal ancestors of the Book of Mormon and Native American peoples. According to the Book of Mormon, his known immediate family is as shown in the diagram below. {{familytree/start}}{{familytree| | LEH |y| SAR | | | | | | | |LEH=Lehi|SAR=Sariah}}{{familytree| |,|-|-|^|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|.|}}{{familytree| LAM | | LEM | | SAM | | NEP | | JAC | | JOS |LAM=Laman|LEM=Lemuel|SAM=Sam|NEP=Nephi|JAC=Jacob|JOS=Joseph}}{{familytree/end}}It is also believed that Lehi had daughters maybe even before Jacob and Joseph were born. Lehi's son, Nephi, mentions having sisters in his writings; their names and birth order are unknown.[10] Hypothesized modern archaeological ties{{main|Archaeology and the Book of Mormon}}{{unreferenced section|date=August 2017}}Some Mormon scholars and researchers speculate that the following archaeological sites and peoples may have ties to Lehi, or constitute evidence of the historicity of Lehi (though these connections are not accepted by non-Mormon archaeologists):
Possible origin of the nameThe name "Lehi" (לֶחִי) also means jawbone or cheek in Hebrew, and appears in Judges 15: 15-19.[11][12] 15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass [לְחִי-חֲמוֹר], and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.[13] Book of Mormon MovieIn The Journey, adapted from First and Second Nephi, Lehi was portrayed by Bryce Chamberlain. The film was a critical failure.
