“Used literally, the word [fountain] is consistent with ancient Near Eastern language patterns, as in the phrases ‘the fountain of the Red Sea’ (1 Ne. 2:9) or ‘a fountain of pure water’ (Mosiah 18:5). Ultimately, ‘fountain’ is used as a symbol for Jesus Christ, as Mormon implied. Moroni … taught … that the ‘fountain of all righteousness’ is the Lord himself (Ether 12:28). Indeed, Jesus Christ is the source and reservoir of all truth and goodness. The Savior taught this concept in the eastern hemisphere to the Samaritan woman at the well during his mortal ministry” (Largey, Book of Mormon Reference Companion, 276).
