Jacob

 

Jacob

This is the city of Jacob. Due to the practice of naming a land by the same name as the city, it is presumed to also be the land of Jacob. The city of Jacob borders the lands of Gimgimno and Gadiomnah. It can't be placed with certainty. See the discussions for the city of Gadiandi and Gadiomnah about the placement of these cities.

Commentaries (view it on a map)

III NEPHI 4:34 [9:8]: And behold, the city of Gadiandi, and the city of Gadiomnah, and the city of Jacob, and the city Gimgimno, all these have I caused to be sunk, and made hills and valleys in the places thereof,

Commentary: This verse references the places of Gadiandi, Gadiomnah, Gimgimno, and Jacob. They are listed in geographic order and each city shares a border with the others listed next to it. The cities are not near the seashore since the sea did not destroy them. The city of Moronihah and the land southward also met the same fate. Using Occam's Razor, these cities could be in proximity of the city of Moronihah and the land southward.
