Biblical PN 1. Son of JACOB (1 Nephi 5:14; Ether 13:10)
Lehite PN 2. Son of LEHI (1 Nephi 18:7;Alma 3:6)
3. Joseph Smith Sr. and Joseph Smith Jr., seen in prophecy by Joseph No. 1 (2 Nephi 3) (Never mentioned by name!)

The PN JOSEPH may be of the Hebrew yōsēp, "he adds," or possibly yĕhōsēp(yāh), "may (the Lord) add," derived from the root yāsap, "to add" (BDB 415b).
