A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nimrod, Valley of
NIMROD, VALLEY OF. A valley in Mesopotamia, or in the adjacent regions, called after the mighty hunter who founded the Babylonian empire. There the Jaredites assembled and organized for their journey. In this valley, also, the Lord talked with the brother of Jared, and commanded that the company should go forth into that region where man had never yet been; but the brother of Jared did not at that time see the Lord, for He was hidden from him in a cloud. (Ether, 2.)
