People in the Book of Mormon
Lehi (far right, bearded) bestowing a blessing on his family. At least 21 different figures are visible (inclusive of infants and children). There is a mix of men, women, and children. A man in blue appears to be writing, perhaps transcribing what Lehi is saying. One infant is nursing. Several men have beards. All but the children wear hats or scarf-like head coverings. The fashion and style is reminiscent of nineteenth-century Christian art of Old Testament scenes. There is a vibrancy of color, with clothing in blues, greens, whites, and reds. The family gather in something like a circle, on a green, grassy field. There are tents visible in the background. This is cropped from a full version of the scene.

According to the Book of Mormon, Gideon was a faithful Nephite leader, a strong man, and an enemy to King Noah.[1] After King Noah's expulsion and death by fire, Gideon counseled with Noah's son, King Limhi.[2] He proposed a plan for escaping from Lamanite bondage.[3] Gideon grew to be an old man, and was killed by Nehor.[4] After his death, a city of the Nephites was named after him.[5]
