In today’s reading, Alma 27, the Nephites give the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi a land called Jershon for their inheritance, as a place of refuge.
That’s a strikingly apt name for a “land of inheritance.”
See, for example,
Stephen D. Ricks, “A Nickname and a Slam Dunk: Notes on the Book of Mormon Names Zeezrom and Jershon”
and
Matthew L. Bowen, “‘They Were Moved with Compassion’ (Alma 27:4; 53:13): Toponymic Wordplay on Zarahemla and Jershon“
