Fascinating information on the Book of Abraham translation by the Prophet Joseph. Here is a sample.
The Book of Abraham texts suggests that the four jars reference locations, and Joseph Smith clearly was aware that they represent directions. In Facsimile 2 figure 6, we see the same four characters, with the same four animal heads, standing in the same line, facing the same direction. But in Facsimile 2 Joseph Smith explained that they: “represent this earth in its four quarters.” He was exactly correct. These four idols actually show up in each of the three Facsimiles as representations of the four corners of the earth.
The most important thing about the name Libnah is that it means “white.” Libnah translates as “white,” which is also the symbol for the Egyptian context, Duamutef. Joseph Smith’s explanation for Figure 6 “idolatrous god of Libnah” is therefore a direct bullseye.http://www.conflictofjustice.com/category/fact-check/
