I

IM-MAN'U-EL
The Christ. Mentioned in 2 Ne. ix:27, 46, in quoting Isa. vii, viii.

IR'RE-AN'TUM
Name given by Lehi's company to the waters on the east coast of Arabia where they dwelt during the preparation of the ship by which they were to cross to America. Its interpretation is "many waters." 1 Ne. v:55-64.

I'SAAC
The Bible Isaac. God is several times referred to in the B. of M. as the God of Abraham, and the God of I., and the God of Jacob.

IS'A-BEL
A harlot in the land of Siron. Corianton, son of Alma, Jr., forsook the mission he had undertaken with his father (75 B. C.) and went to this en-ticing woman. Al. xix:5.

I-SA'IAH
The Bible Isaiah. The brass plates brought to America by Lehi's colony contained his prophecies, and chapters ii-xiv are reproduced with slight variation in 2 Nephi viii:17-x. Compare, e. g., Isa. ix:3 with 2 Ne. ix:61-67.

I-SA'IAH
One of the twelve disciples chosen by Jesus (A. D. 34) to minister to the people in America. He was present when Jesus appeared in the land Bountiful and was baptized by Nephi. 3 Ne. ix:4.

lSH'MA-EL
(1) One of Lehi's colony. After the plates of brass and Zoram had been brought by Nephi and brothers from Jerusalem to Lehi in the wilderness (600 B. C.) they made a second return trip there for I. and his family. After their return with said family to Lehi's tent the five daughters of I. married Zoram and the sons of Lehi; which connections were the design in chief of bringing them out. Ishmael died ere they crossed the deep and was buried in Nahom. 1 Ne. ii:7-37; v:7-9, 44-52.

ISH'MA-EL
(2) Amulek said (B. C.): "I am the son of Giddonah, who was the son of I. who was a descendant of Aminadi." Al. viii:l. He lived in the second century B. C.

ISH'MA-EL
Land of. When the sons of Mosiah left the land of Zarahemla (91 B. C.) to go on a mission to the Lamanites in the land of Nephi, and had separated in the borders of the Lamanites' territory, Ammon went to the land of I., which was named after the sons of I. Its King, Lamoni, was a descendant of I., evidently the one who joined Lehi 600 B. C. The land of I. was clearly a province of the land of Nephi, the king of the latter being king over all the land. The land of Nephi embraced a number of constituents all exclusive of Zarahemla. The city of Lehi-Nephi, capital, with the surrounding locality sometimes designated as the land of Nephi. The land of I. was evidently eastward. Al. xii:28-34; xiii:67-77.

ISH'MA-EL-ITES
The descendants of Ishmael who left Jerusalem and joined Lehi in the wilderness. Up to 545 B. C., we learn from Jacob, the ancients in America were known as Nephites, Lamanites, Zoramites, I., etc., but he said he would not thereafter observe those distinctions, but would designate them as Nephites and Lamanites, Jacob i:12-14. The distinction of I. was revived, A. D. 230, or 775 years from the time Jacob wrote. 4 Ne. 29-45.

IS'RA-EL
The Bible I., the descendants of Jacob. The B. of M. abounds with prophecies concerning them: graduality of their dispersion to isles and continents; their recovery; conversion in the last days; blessed when the wars begin among the Gentiles; gathered when they believe in Christ; etc. (Vide concordance to B. of M.)

IS'RA-EL-ITES
The Bible I.; a variant of Israel (q. v.) The derivative I. occurs only in Hel. iii:39-44.
