SHARED Jaredite PN Rebel leader (Ether 13:23; Ether 14:8) No etymology is suggested. If Semitic languages can be appealed to for derivations of Jaredite names, Ugaritic šrd, “to present (an offering), bring down from God,” probably a Š-stem “causative” from the root yrd, “to descend” (RFS). Confer also the Ebla cityname *šeraduki (Pettinato, Archives) (JAT).
