HETH. A Jaredite prince, who was, by the usurping dynasty, held in captivity all his days. He was the son of king Hearthom, who was deposed and kept a prisoner all his life. Heth's son, Aaron, was also held captive from the day of his birth to his death.
HETH, LAND OF. A land of the Jaredites, apparently not far from Moron, the land they first occupied. When Jared, the son of king Omer, rebelled against his father, it is said that he came and dwelt in the land of Heth. This is the only time that this county is mentioned. (Ether 8:2.)
HIMNI. One of the four sons of king Mosiah, and apparently the youngest, who went up to the land of Lehi-Nephi to minister among the Lamanites, (B. C. 91). With the rest of his brothers, he was faithful in the performance of the labors of this great mission, and with them he returned at its close to his home in Zarahemla. Of his individual labors, or in what particular lands he ministered, we have no account. After his return he still continued a zealous and devoted servant of the Lord; and in B. C. 75, when Alma, the high priest, took his brothers to the land of Antionum to preach to the Zoramites, we are told he left Himni with the church in Zarahemla. This is the last notice we have in the Book of Mormon of this God-fearing and virtuous prince.
HOREB. This name is only used once in the Book of Mormon (III Nephi, 25:4) in our Savior's quotation from the prophecies of Malachi. It is generally understood to be another name for Mount Sinai, which idea this quotation confirms.
IMMANUEL. This name appears twice in the Book of Mormon (II Nephi, 17:14; 18:8) in quotations from the writings of Isaiah.
INSECTS AND REPTILES. There are mentioned in the Book of Mormon the asp, bee, bat, honey-bee, cockatrice, fly, moth, serpent, and worms; largely in quotations from the Bible.
