This is the first reference to a temple in the land of Lehi-Nephi. The two earlier temples mentioned in the Book of Mormon were located in the land of Nephi (2 Nephi 5:16) and in the land of Zarahemla (Mosiah 1:18). No further information is provided in our present Book of Mormon concerning when or by whom this temple in the land of Lehi-Nephi was first constructed.
