The Book of Mormon "land of Jershon" given as an inheritance can be traced to a Hebrew root meaning “to inherit"

The Book of Mormon name Jershon can be traced to a Hebrew root meaning “to inherit.” In the Book of Mormon we read “Behold, we will give up the land of Jershon, which is on the east by the sea…and this land of Jershon is the land which we will give unto our brethren for an inheritance” (Alma 27:22).[1]
