Dragons in the Book of Mormon

The word dragon is used four times in the Book of Mormon. Two of the four references are quotes from Isaiah (2 Ne. 8:9 [Is. 51:9]; 2 Ne. 23:22 [Is. 13:22])

Isaiah 13:22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Comment: The Hebrew word thannîm is translated as dragons in this KJV verse. This is the plural form of tan and is sometimes translated as jackals or wild dogs.

Isaiah 51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

Comment: The Hebrew word tannîn is translated as dragons in this KJV verse. This is normally thought
of as a sea-serpent or sea monster. In a blog entitled “Moses and His Crocodile”¹, Dr. Claude Mariottine quotes Simcha Jacobovici, the Naked Archaeologist, as saying: “Did you know that, when facing Pharaoh, it is not Moses that throws down his staff; it is his brother Aaron and, according to the original Hebrew [ed. Ex. 7:9-12], it did not turn into a snake but a crocodile? Since the Egyptians worshipped the crocodile god - Sobek, when Aaron's crocodile swallowed up the Egyptian crocodiles, Pharaoh understood that the God of Israel was more powerful than his entire pantheon. All this is lost if the Hebrew word ‘tanin’ is mistranslated as ‘snake’ instead of ‘crocodile.’” In this blog he quotes from many other sources that argue for the crocodile translation.

In the Oxford English Dictionary entry for dragon (meaning 3), we read the following.
In the Bible versions reproducing draco of the Vulgate and δράκων of the Septuagint, where the Hebrew has  tannīn a great sea- or water-monster, a whale, shark, or crocodile, also a large serpent; or  tan a desert mammalian animal, now understood to be the jackal, and so rendered in the Revised Version.

In the other two references (Mosiah 20:11; Alma 43:44), the word dragon is used as a simile for ferocity – both verses refer to people who fight like dragons. It is entirely possible that of the whales, sharks, crocodiles, and other animals that were tannīn, the one animal that the Book of Mormon record keepers may have most easily seen fighting with incredible ferocity was the crocodile.

People living on the Baja Peninsula would have been familiar with crocodiles. Johan Jakob Baegert, a German Jesuit Priest who had lived in Baja California between 1751 and 1768, in describing the small water courses of Baja¹ says: “in all of them abide alligators of considerable size and since some of them are capable of devouring a full-grown man, it is necessary to be on guard while drawing water, bathing, or washing. I have seen several of these creatures.”³ Alligators⁴ are not found on Baja today⁵; however, the mangrove swamps that are a usual habitat for alligators are rather common, especially on the East coast of Baja.

Further evidence that the people of this area knew of crocodiles is furnished by Brian Stubbs. He has studied relationships between the Uto-Aztecan languages and the Hebrew and Egyptian languages: the Uto-Aztecan languages have a word for crocodile and it is related to the Egyptian word for crocodile. A word for dragon is unknown in the Uto-Aztecan languages.⁶

The Jesuits and the Indians of Baja California

 

Jesuits in Baja California (1683–1767)

Spanish Catholic priests called Jesuits attempted to settle Baja California beginning in 1683. They abandoned their first two attempts due to hostile responses from the natives. In 1697, Jesuits settled their first of 18 permanent missions to convert local natives to Christianity. “Along with religion, the Europeans brought with them diseases that the indigenous peoples had never been exposed to, and consequently had no immunity against. By 1767, epidemics of measles, plague, smallpox, typhus, and venereal diseases had decimated the native population. Out of an initial population of as many as 50,000, only some 5,000 are thought to have survived.” (“Spanish missions in Baja California,” http://en.wikipedia.org)

Jesuit records describe the people, lands, and culture that the Jesuits found in Baja between 1683 and 1767. These records can give us a glimpse into a people who may have been descendants of Book of Mormon people. The religious traditions of the Jesuits and the natives of Baja were similar to and different from those found in the New Testament and Book of Mormon when prophets and apostles were present about 1500 years before.

Pablo L. Martinez used Jesuit records in the early chapters of his book, History of Lower California (HLC). Several entries will refer to parts of this book that relate to the Book of Mormon.

 

Three Indian Tribes in Baja

The Jesuits found three prehispanic Indian tribes that they called the Cochimíes, Guaycuras, and Pericúes.  However, these were not the names the Indians called themselves. “The word laymón [or laimon] was the name” the Guaycuras or monquis gave to the Cochimíes (HLC 23–24).

We divided into two missions, and soon we noticed that there was a mingling in them of nations of different languages, one, the Monqui … and the other the Laimon. … Immediately we set about … to learn the latter, and because it is the dominating language, and appears to be the general one in this extensive kingdom, with continued study we learned it quickly, and in it we … teach the Christian doctrine to the Laimones, as in the Monqui to the Monquis.” (Herbert Eugene Bolton, Kino’s Historical Memoir of Pimería Alta, 2:50)

Was the name Laimones related to Lamonites?

Below is a map showing the locations of these three tribes (HLC 51).

 

 

Petroglyphs in Baja

The Jesuit missionaries found Indians who did not have any written records. They also found evidence of earlier people who were more cultured and skilled.

The prehispanic inhabitants of Lower California lived in a disastrous cultural condition. Certainly as the experts think, when the first men came to the peninsula they brought with them some greater culture, which was gradually lost. … There is not found among them the least notion of writing nor are there even any hieroglyphs in the land; the petroglyphs or paintings on stone that are found around Santiago … and other places do not belong according to the opinion of the learned to the men who inhabited the peninsula at the time the Spaniards arrived: they are attributed to other and very different people about whom we do not have any information except that they left their traces in these [rock] paintings. …

In the Cape Pulmo, on a large rock … there can be seen something which is like an inscription with heavy character among which many persons believe there are Gothic, Hebraic and Chaldean symbols. The natives never were able to explain the origin and significance of the drawings. They limited themselves to saying that they were the work of their ancestors. …

The petroglyphs of San Borjitas … represent distinct human figures …; in them are found as many as nine colors, without including black and white. The technique of the painters reveals great skill and beauty. …

The author of this work has seen … engravings, not paintings, of some figures of animals. The polished stone is in a convex form and on the previously prepared surface there is sculptured with a degree of perfection a deer, a tortoise and a lizard. (HLC 29–30; italics added)

The Mulekites left Jerusalem after Lehi left and lived in the land of Zarahemla which is north of where Lehi landed. Over 300 years later, Mosiah, the father of King Benjamin, found the Mulekites.

17 Their language had become corrupted; and they had brought no records with them; and they denied the being of their Creator; and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could [not] understand them. … 20 In the days of Mosiah, there was a large stone brought unto him with engravings on it; and he did interpret the engravings by the gift and power of God. 21 And they gave an account of one Coriantumr, and the slain of his people [the Jaredites]. (Omni 1:17, 20–21; [not] in verse 17 is in the Printer’s Manuscript and the 1830 Book of Mormon)

Without written records, the Mulekite language became corrupted and they no longer believed in their Creator. King Benjamin later told his sons what would have happened if Lehi had not brought the plates of brass to the new world.

Were it not for these things … even our fathers would have dwindled in unbelief, and we should have been like unto our brethren, the Lamanites, who know nothing concerning these things, or even do not believe them when they are taught them, because of the traditions of their fathers, which are not correct. (Mosiah 1:5)

Indian beliefs about God

The Jesuit missionaries asked the three Indian tribes about their religious beliefs. Some Indian beliefs are similar to Christian beliefs while others are similar to LDS beliefs. Some believe the Indian beliefs were influenced by the Jesuits, “but considering the limited intelligence of the [Indians], such a conclusion is impossible to accept” (HLC 57). However, if the Indians were descendants of Book of Mormon people, we would expect some similarities to Old Testament writings found on the brass plates, and to Book of Mormon writings. We would also expect differences that would come after 1500 years without prophets or written records. In the examples below, notice the similarities and differences. (Underlining added, but italics are in original.)

“The Pericú tradition mentioned a great lord who lived in the sky, called Niparaja, who had made the sky, the earth and the sea, and who enjoyed the privilege of going whatever he liked. This great personage had as wife Anajicojondi, who gave him three sons without use of herself, since she lacked a body; one of them Cuajaip, had been a real man and had lived for a long time on the earth … to indoctrinate humanity. One day these people ungratefully rebelled against the one who had granted them innumerable blessings; they killed him and placed on his head a wreath made of thorns. They believed that in the sky there were more people than on earth, and that in that region at a remote period frightful wars had been fought, provoked by another personage called Tuparán by some and Bac by others, against the supreme Niparaja; that the latter had been victor in the end … [and cast Tuparán] from the sky with all his followers.” (HLC 57–58)

“The Guaycuras gave credence to a leading spirit called Guamongo, who sent diseases to earth. They asserted that at a remote period he had sent to the earth one of his [subordinates] called Gujiaqui, to visit there in his stead; it so happened that as he traveled through the Peninsula, sowing pitahayas [= tall cacti or their edible fruit] and establishing fishing localities, at the end of which he hid in Puerto Escondido, where he was served by lesser spirits, who took to him daily exquisite pitahayas and delicious fish to eat, he busied himself making capes for doctors and charlatans; and that he then went back to the north, from whence he had come.” (HLC 58)

The Cochimíes … made reference to a great lord who lived in the sky, called … He who lives; they spoke also of his son, born without the aid of woman. … There was only one [Lord], creator of the sky, earth, plants, man and woman. They agreed that He who lives created certain invisible beings … [who] plotted against him, declaring themselves enemies of man; and that these being were liars and seized men when they died and put them under the earth where they could not see He who lives. … They made mention of a man who in far distant times had come from the sky to benefit mankind …; but they were not able to say what benefits he had brought to man nor did they tender him any worship. … They celebrated a fiesta named for the man who came from the sky, but this … was reduced to the enjoyment of pleasures, eating and dancing. (HLC 59–60)

 

Cochimí Indian names for God

The Cochimíes … made reference to a great lord who lived in the sky, called in their language He who lives; they spoke also of his son, born without the aid of woman, and who had two names: one of these names signified The Swift One and the other Perfection or the End of Clay; furthermore, there was another personage, He who makes Lords. (HLC 59)

The name “He who lives” is related to scripture phrases: “the living God” (Josh 3:10; Dt 5:26; 2 Ne 31:16) and “the LORD liveth” (1 Sam 14:39; 2 Sam. 22:47; 1 Ne 3:15). The Jesuits like other Catholics believed in a God without body, parts, and passions. However, for Moses and Book of Mormon prophets who saw and talked with God “face to face” (Ex 33:11), “the living God” was in contrast to idol gods “which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell” (Dt 4:28).

The first name of the great lord’s son, “The Swift One” relates the following scriptures.

The LORD … rode upon a cherub, and did fly … upon the wings of the wind (2 Sam 22:7, 11; Ps 19:10). The LORD rideth upon a swift cloud (Isa 19:1). [Jesus] was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight (Acts 1:9). Jesus Christ … cometh with clouds (Rev 1:7).

They saw a Man descending out of heaven (3 Ne 11:8). There came a cloud … [and Jesus] ascended into heaven (3 Ne 18:38–39).

The other name of the son, “Perfection or the End of Clay” is interesting. Christ did not say he was perfect until after his death and resurrection (Mt 5:48; 3 Ne 12:48). The Bible says “the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground” (Gen 2:7). King Benjamin said, “the Lord Omnipotent … shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay” (Mosiah 3:5). In “the resurrection … this mortal body is raised to an immortal body … that … can die no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; thus … becoming spiritual and immortal” (Al 11:45). Therefore, after the “end of clay” or the mortal body, Christ was the first to be resurrected and to be perfect or complete with an immortal body that can die no more.

The last name, “He who makes Lords,” will be discussed in the next entry.

 

“He who makes Lords”

The Cochimíes … made reference to a great lord … called … He who lives; … furthermore, there was another personage, He who makes Lords. (HLC 56–59)

The name, “He who makes Lords,” makes sense to Mormons but not to most Christians. The Jesuits who like other Catholics of the time used the Latin Bible instead of the Hebrew Bible. A common Bible name for the Creator (Gen. 2:4) is “LORD God” in English, and “Dominus Deus” (LORD God) in Latin. This name seems completely unrelated to “He who makes Lords.” The same name for God in the Hebrew Bible is “YHWH Elohim” (Jehovah Elohim). Hebrew was the language of the Jews and the Nephites (Morm. 9:33).

Elohim is plural and means Gods or gods. However, in the Bible it is translated as God when it refers to the God of Israel and gods when it refers to pagan gods.

YHWH is written without vowels. The vowels added in modern Hebrew Bibles are from the word adonai (Lord) to remind readers to say adonai instead of what was written. Christians used the word Jehovah based on these vowels, but usually translated it as LORD in the King James Bible. Scholars generally write Yahweh and agree that YHWH comes from the Hebrew word meaning “to come into existence, become, be,” but they differ as to the meaning. For many scholars, YHWH means the one who is, the existing, ever-living. However, many recent scholars believe it is the causative form which means: The one bringing into being, life-giver; giver of existence, creator; he who brings to pass, performer of promises. Examples of the causative meaning of YHWH include:

The LORD of Hosts (1 Sam 1:3): “he creates armies”

Jehovah-shalom (Jg 6:24): “he creates peace or well-being”

Jehovah-nissi (Ex 17:15): “he creates my refuge or standard”

Therefore, YHWH Elohim (LORD God) would mean: “he creates Gods,” “he will create Gods,” or “he who creates Gods.” The Cochimi name, He who makes Lords, reflects this Hebrew meaning.

Travel to San Borja (Bountiful)

We decided to try to get to San Borja again, and hit it this time. Perhaps this is a potential site for Bountiful. We found walls, roads, a variety of fruit trees (including olives) as well as pottery shards. Again the vegetation was dense and interesting. A young man who works with INA (something like Instituto Nationale Anthopoligia—he is working on a dig at El Arco; Zach, I think this may be a good connection for us [his bosses at least]) walked us around indicating which things were Jesuit, Dominican, and pre-Jesuit. He maintains that many of the walls and roads were pre-Jesuit. There were cold springs and hot springs that were “cribbed” with rock and which I will attach pictures for with this email. (Kevin, my last email with images bounced back, so I don’t think you got them). I also took some video I can show at our next meeting.

Whether or not this is Bountiful, we certainly came away from what I now consider the most interesting site I have seen so far in the project. I took olive, pomegranate, grass, and bamboo samples for Rickmael. Kent, I think you would have had a heyday with this one! They are growing grapes, lemons, date and blue palms there as well. Lots of mounded earth and rock walls to inspect as well (One image I will include shows a section of wall that came down three weeks ago with an earthquake they had in the area). Water catchment systems that our young INA fellow thought were pre-Jesuit too . . . Zach, I think we need to get you there one way or another.

This is ATV country with super-washboardy roads that go inland 22 miles from the west (Mex #1 hwy-lots of room to park vehicles) or about 20 from the Bahia de los Angeles highway (not so much room to park vehicles). Linda actually found a pottery shard as we were walking and surrendered it to the young man. I’ll include images of those shards too. He had a piece of respaldo that looked like a cutting edge. He also had a large stone jug about 18 inches in height. He had made some others himself from the same kind of stone, but indicated this smaller jug was original to the area.

Anyway, you can see that we got excited about San Borja and think it is a worthwhile place to spend some time. Check out the pictures

Travel to San Ignacio (Zarahemla)

We went to the head of the lagoon where the irrigation canal begins and came back full circle into San Ignacio. We also went over to the west side where we climbed the big hill (and I was attacked by a cactus) back in November, but this time rode around San Lino (west side of town) and inspected the 3-foot high, 3-foot wide stone wall that is found on the west side of the river. (It looks like a long dark line on Google Earth, across the river from the Desert Inn where we stayed.) We took back roads from the west side all the way back to the Desert Inn again, crossing the river at the same spot that Kent, Otis Sr. and I did (after I had been half-baptized in Sidon!). It was very interesting to have covered so much ground with the ATV in a few hours in one day, but it gave me an appreciation of how much better we could get around using such vehicles.

We did not go further downstream before we decided to head back northward. Our brake problem that occurred last week meant that we skipped Bahia de los Angeles, so we decided to head back in that direction. Linda has been significantly traumatized by the narrow roads (not to mention my“inventive” driving), so we will not get over to Santa Rosalita or Loreto/San Javier this trip. However, I am determined to get their sometime in the next year . . .

Tomorrow we will get to Bahia and then down toward Bahia de Animus to look at a potential military outlook near the narrow neck. It was identified by the Erhle Stanley Gardner (the Perry Mason originator with a helicopter) group back in the 1960’s. Should be interesting.
