Irreantum. IRREANTUM. The name given by Lehi's colony to an arm of the Indian Ocean, on the eastern coast of Arabia. On its shore Nephi and his brethren built the ship that carried them to this continent. It was either the Persian Gulf or Gulf of Oman, the which does not clearly appear from the records. Nephi informs us that the meaning of the word Irreantum is many waters.   ISAAC. The son of Abraham. The Lord is several times called in the Book of Mormon, "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,” and it is in this connection that the name of this patriarch most frequently occurs.   ISABEL. A harlot of the land of Siron, who stole away the hearts of many. Among those seduced by her meretricious charms was Corianton, the son of Alma, the younger, who forsook the ministry among the Zoramites, on purpose to enjoy her company, greatly to the injury and scandal of the work of God among that people, and to the great grief of his father (B. C. 75).   ISAIAH. One of the Twelve Disciples called and chosen by Jesus to minister to the Nephites at the time of his visit to that people (A. C. 34). Isaiah was present near the temple in the land Bountiful when Jesus appeared, and was baptized by Nephi on the day following. He is not again mentioned by name in the sacred record.  <section end="Isaiah" /> <section begin="Isaiah (II)" />ISAIAH. The Hebrew prophet. His prophecies were engraven on the plates obtained from Laban, and were greatly valued by Nephi and his righteous descendants. The following chapters from the Book of Isaiah are quoted in full in the Book of Mormon: chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 48, 49, 50, 51, 53, 54. They are given to us very much as they appear in the Bible, with here and there an important addition, which had evidently been left out of the manuscripts from which the Bible, as we have it to-day, were originally taken.
