The Book of Mormon Geography
Nahom Nahom is the city in the middle east where Ishmael was buried after he died.
Warren Aston notes,
“The recent discovery by a German archaeological team of a stone altar in Yemen referring to the tribal name NIHM was announced in the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies in 1999.(1) Perfectly preserved under centuries of sand, the altar had been dated by its excavators to about 600-700 BC, thus placing it squarely in the time frame of the Book of Mormon ‘Nahom’ (1 Nephi 16:34) where Ishmael was buried.

Jacob 5
When speaking of Jacob 5 Joseph Fielding Smith said, “No greater parable was ever recorded”
Context Just before Jacobs speaks the allegory of the olive trees, he shares something about the “unsearchableness of God” saying,
Behold, great and marvelous are the works of the Lord. How unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of him; and it is impossible that man should find out all his ways. And no man knoweth of his ways save it be revealed unto him; wherefore, brethren, despise not the revelations of God.
