16  And we did follow the ^adirections of the ball, which led us in the more fertile parts of the wilderness.

  12  And I, Nephi, had also brought the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass; and also the ball, or ^ccompass, which was prepared for my father by the hand of the Lord, according to that which is written.

  38  And now, my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the thing which our fathers call a ball, or director—or our fathers called it ^aLiahona, which is, being interpreted, a compass; and the Lord prepared it.

  1  Behold, I say unto you, that you must rely upon my word, which if you do with full purpose of heart, you shall have a view of the plates, and also of the breastplate, the sword of Laban, the Urim and Thummim, which were given to the brother of Jared upon the mount, when he talked with the Lord face to face, and the ^hmiraculous directors which were given to Lehi while in the wilderness, on the borders of the Red Sea.
