John W. Welch:
<blockquote>
Apparently the form of the word Mosiah is a "hiphil participle" in Hebrew. It occurs in the Hebrew in Deuteronomy 22:27; 28:29; Judges 12:3; Psalms 18:41; and Isaiah 5:29—texts that in all probability were on the Plates of Brass. This word, however, was not transliterated into the English by the King James translators, and thus the Hebrew would not have been known to Joseph Smith. It was, however, known and used as a personal name in the Book of Mormon, as well as by people in the Jewish colony at Elephantine in the fifth century B.C. <ref>{{Book:Welch:Reexploring the Book of Mormon|pages=[http://publications.maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/fullscreen/?pub=1110&index=10 Chapter 10]|author=John W.
