Gazelem

Gazelem (/ɡəˈzlɪm/;[1]) is a person or object mentioned in the Book of Alma, within the Book of Mormon.

Alma the Younger makes a reference to Gazelem in his instructions to his son Helaman. It has been theorized that Gazelem was a Jaredite seer. Joseph Smith used Gazelam (sic) as one of his code names in the Doctrine and Covenants.[2]
