Lucifer. LUCIFER. The Son of the Morning; Satan. This name appears but once in the Book of Mormon (II Nephi, 24:12), in a quotation from the writings of Isaiah.   MADMENAH. A Benjaminite village, north of Jerusalem, whose inhabitants were frightened away by the appearance of the armies of Sennacherib. It is only mentioned in the Book of Mormon in a quotation from the writings of Isaiah, (II Nephi, 20:31).   MAHAH. One of the sons of Jared, apparently the third. It is presumable that he was born in Western Asia, before the people of Jared commenced their migration to America. Like the rest of his father's family, he was a righteous man; and when offered the kingly authority by the people he refused that honor.   MAHER-SHALAL-HASH-BAZ. A son of Isaiah. His name, which means speed-spoil, was given by Divine revelation, as a token that the “'child should not have knowledge to cry, my father, and my mother, before the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria."

It is this incident that appears in the Book of Mormon in Nephi's quotations from the writings of Isaiah, (II Nephi, 18:1—4).  <section end="Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz" /> <section begin="Malachi" />MALACHI. The prophet of the Jews of that name. His prophecies, as contained in the third and fourth chapters of his book, were quoted to the Nephites by Jesus during his ministrations to them. As Malachi lived between two and three hundred years after Lehi left Jerusalem, the Nephites knew nothing of the glorious things that the Father had revealed to him until Jesus repeated them. <section end="Malachi" /> <section begin="Malachi" /><section end="Malachi" /> <section begin="Manasseh" />MANASSEH. This name is used in two ways in the Book of Mormon: (1) For the kingdom or people of Israel (II Nephi, 19:21), in a quotation from the writings of Isaiah; and <section end="Manasseh" />
