Who was Aminadab?

Thomas R. Valletta

“A Nephite by birth, who had once belonged to the church of God but had ‘dissented from them’ (Hel. 5:35) and then had gone over to live with the Lamanites. … Aminadab was present when a cloud of darkness overshadowed the Lamanites and Nephite dissenters in the prison (Hel. 5:22–35). He turned, and through the cloud he saw the uplifted faces of Nephi and Lehi, seemingly conversing with an unseen heavenly being. … The darkness, Aminadab told the Lamanites, would be removed if they would repent and pray ‘until ye shall have faith in Christ’ (Hel. 5:40–41). Glorious manifestations followed their prayer and conversion to Christ (Hel. 5:42–48)” (Largey, Book of Mormon Reference Companion, 46).
