Amaron

Amaron should not be confused with Ammaron, Ammoron, or Amoron, three other Book of Mormon figures with similar names.

According to the Book of Mormon, Amaron (/əˈmeɪ.rɑːn/) was a Nephite record keeper, who received the Plates of Nephi from his father Omni in 279 BC. He wrote verses four through eight in the Book of Omni, telling that a large portion of the Nephite civilization was destroyed, in fulfillment of prophecy. His brother Chemish succeeded him as the keeper of the Book of Mormon record.
