“The reference to temples in the plural is of special interest because virtually all non-Mormon sources insist that for Israel there was to be but one temple, and that in Jerusalem. We have no interest in reviewing scholarly arguments, but simply observe that such an idea was not shared by the family of Lehi, who were in the Americas only a relatively short time before they began building a temple (see 2 Nephi 5:16)” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 3:120–21).
