According to the
Book of Mormon, the Jaredites () are a people who lived in ancient
America shortly after the confounding of the languages at the
Tower of Babel and are written of principally in the
Book of Ether (). The Linage of the Ether is written in The Book of Ether, chapter 1 verses 6-33. Most individuals are only briefly mentioned in the narrative of the Book of Ether. Each is notable in that he is a descendant of
Jared (), an ancestor to
Ether, and most were also Kings of the Jaredites.
