Etymology
ISRAEL, the other name of JACOB and the northern kingdom of the ISRAELITES, does not refer to a person or place in the Book of Mormon. The Hebrew name YisraΚΎel may mean "God fights; rules; shines; heals" (HALOT s.v. ISRAEL). ISRAEL may also be mentiioned in the Merneptah Stele 1.27, where we read that "Israel (EGYPTIAN I.si.ri.ΚΎar, with foreign person/people determinative) is laid waste (EGYPTIAN fk.t) and his seed is not,"[1] although it may also refer to another people or place.
Variants
Deseret Alphabet: πππ‘πππ’ (ΙͺzrΓ¦Ιl) (1 Nephi 5:9+), πππ‘πππ’ (Γ¦zrΓ¦Ιl) (2 Nephi 9:23), πππ‘πππ’ (aΙͺzrΓ¦Ιl) (2 Nephi 25:4)
