Lehi's Daughters

Lehi’s daughters are named once, among the people who left with Nephi when he fled into the wilderness. After Laman and Lemuel sought to kill him, the Lord warned Nephi to depart from them, and Nephi took his family along with Zoram, his brother Sam, his younger brothers Jacob and Joseph, and his sisters (2 Nephi 5:5-6).

Those who went with Nephi are described as believing in the warnings and revelations of God and hearkening to his words (2 Nephi 5:6). Lehi’s daughters were thus among the group that separated from Laman and Lemuel and became the Nephites. The record does not give their names or number, nor any further detail about them (2 Nephi 5:6).
