Omner

Nephite missionary in the Book of Mormon
Part of a series on
People in the Book of Mormon
Lehi (far right, bearded) bestowing a blessing on his family. At least 21 different figures are visible (inclusive of infants and children). There is a mix of men, women, and children. A man in blue appears to be writing, perhaps transcribing what Lehi is saying. One infant is nursing. Several men have beards. All but the children wear hats or scarf-like head coverings. The fashion and style is reminiscent of nineteenth-century Christian art of Old Testament scenes. There is a vibrancy of color, with clothing in blues, greens, whites, and reds. The family gather in something like a circle, on a green, grassy field. There are tents visible in the background. This is cropped from a full version of the scene.

According to the Book of Mormon, Omner (/ˈɒmnər/)[1] was a Nephite missionary and one of the sons of King Mosiah II. He was also brother to the prophet Ammon. As related in the Book of Mormon narrative, Omner and his three brothers (Ammon, Aaron, and Himni), left their father, and his people, to travel to the land of the Lamanites in order to preach the gospel to them.[2]

During their sojourn there, Omner was imprisoned and beaten,[3] but eventually aided in the conversion of thousands of Lamanites, who later became the Anti-Nephi-Lehies.[4]
