In the opening of a book named after this man, he is described as being born of “goodly parents.” (10[1])After this man is tied to a ship’s mast, (-5[1])a golden compass (-5[1])called the Liahona stops working. (-5[1])This (-5[1])large-statured man succeeds in retrieving the Brass Tablets from Laban (10[1])after the failure of his wicked older brothers.
