Lamanites (defined)

Jacob 1:14; refer in this text to Hel.11:24

“It is significant that the name ‘Lamanite’ here appears to become a generic term. That is, it refers to a general classification of people—those who revolted from the Church. These people may or may not have been the direct descendants of Laman and Lemuel.” (Dean L. Larsen, You and the Destiny of the Indian, pp. 21-22)
