pam Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Reference Search: Jacob 2:88 And it supposeth me that they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul. Quote for DiscussionWounded As one student of Jacob has counted, of the seventeen times such phrases as "grieveth me" and "burdeneth my soul" are used in the entire Book of Mormon, eleven of those utterances are by Jacob. The word wound or a variant of it is used thirty-one times in the Book of Mormon, twenty-four of those referring to physical wounds. It is not surprising that the other seven uses, which apply to a "wounded soul," are all from the writings of Jacob. See Chris Conkling, "The Gentle Power of Jacob," Ensign, February 1992, p. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
