He focuses on depictions of Ramses III in and out of the temple of Medinet Habu. Outside the temple and when entering and leaving there are depictions of him wearing sandals. Inside the temple proper the king is always shown barefoot. Ramses III built Medinet Habu only slightly after the time of Moses and as Gee further notes, while not wearing footwear was a clear practice among the Egyptians it is far more explicit in Moses\u2019 encounter with Deity when he is told to remove his \u201cshoes from off they feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.\u201d Gee observes that contemporary Egyptian temple practice \u201creflects the commands of God recorded in the Pentateuch,\u201d as well as reflects Moses\u2019 Egyptian background.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">***<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And, as I\u2019ve been doing lately, I now offer links to some articles from a prior volume of <em>Interpreter<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/journal.interpreterfoundation.org\/looking-back-almost-five-years-on\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Daniel C.

Remarkably, the Book of Mormon narrative depicts examples of kingship that demonstrate close fidelity to the pattern set forth in Deuteronomy 17 (e.g., Nephi, Benjamin, or Mosiah II) or the inversion of the expected pattern of kingship (e.g., king Noah). Future research on Book of Mormon kingship through the lens of Deuteronomy 17:14\u201320 should prove fruitful.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/journal.interpreterfoundation.org\/meeting-zoram\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Collin Charles Russell, \u201cMeeting Zoram\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Abstract:\u00a0<em>Zoram, the servant of Laban, is a character from the Book of Mormon who is only mentioned a few times and on whom little information is given.

Insight is provided concerning Zoram\u2019s Hebraic descent in the tribe of Manasseh and his working duties under Laban\u2019s command, along with how all this affected his role in assisting Lehi\u2019s family. The meaning of his name in Hebrew and possible correlations to the meaning of his life\u2019s events are explained. The oath between Nephi and Zoram is discussed, and the debate regarding whether Zoram was a slave or servant is addressed, to show that he was likely a free servant.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/journal.interpreterfoundation.org\/seers-and-stones-the-translation-of-the-book-of-mormon-as-divine-visions-of-an-old-time-seer\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Stan Spencer, \u201cSeers and Stones: The Translation of the Book of Mormon as Divine Visions of an Old-Time Seer\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Abstract:<em>\u00a0Joseph Smith used the term\u00a0<\/em>the Urim and Thummim<em>\u00a0to refer to the pair of seer stones, or \u201cinterpreters,\u201d he obtained for translating the Book of Mormon as well as to other seer stones he used in a similar manner. According to witness accounts, he would put the stone(s) in a hat and pull the hat close around his face to exclude the light, and then he would see the translated text of the Book of Mormon. By what property or principle these stones enabled Joseph Smith to see the translated text has long been a matter of conjecture among <a href='https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/library\/mormonism' target='_blank'>Mormons<\/a>, but the stones have commonly been understood as divinely powered devices analogous to the latest human communications technology. An alternative view, presented here, is that the stones had no technological function but simply served as aids to faith. In this view, the stones did not themselves translate or display text. They simply inspired the faith Joseph Smith needed to see imaginative visions, and in those visions, he saw the text of the Book of Mormon, just as Lehi and other ancient seers saw sacred texts in vision. Although\u00a0Joseph\u00a0Smith also saw visions without the use of stones, the logistics of dictating a book required the ability to see the translated text at will, and that was what the faith-eliciting stones would have made possible.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/journal.interpreterfoundation.org\/bare-record-the-nephite-archivist-the-record-of-records-and-the-book-of-mormon-provenance\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Anita Wells, \u201cBare Record: The\u00a0Nephite\u00a0Archivist, The Record of Records, and the Book of Mormon Provenance\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Abstract:\u00a0<em>This paper looks at the Book of Mormon through the lens of library science and the concept of archival provenance.
