“Aaron Goes to the Land of Jerusalem”

Monte S. Nyman

Aaron was the second oldest of the four sons of Mosiah who went on the mission to the Lamanites, assuming they are listed according to age (see Mosiah 27:34). The city of Jerusalem was located on the east coast by the sea. There is no intent to give a modern geographical location. As mentioned in the Historical Setting, the Amalekites and the Amulonites were apostate Nephites (see Alma 43:13). This explains their bad influence upon the Lamanites.
