Land (Ether 8:2) The biblical Hebrew PN Heth, son of Canaan, is the most likely source for an etymology.64 See the standard biblical commentaries. Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 40, suggests “terror.” 64 Note that Heth is usually given as the biblical source for the biblical Hittites, ḫattū in Akkadian, and the name in cuneiform sources for NW Syria (RFS).
