Amnigaddah

Amnigaddah was the father of Coriantum and the son of Aaron (Ether 1:14-15). He was born into captivity, lived all his days in captivity, and died in the same condition (Ether 10:31) [1].

The Book of Ether provides details about Amnigaddah’s lineage. He was the son of Aaron (Ether 1:14-15), who was a descendant of Heth, the son of Hearthom (Ether 1:16). Hearthom was the son of Lib, who was the son of Kish (Ether 1:17-18).

Amnigaddah’s son was Coriantum (Ether 1:14-15), who was the father of Com (Ether 1:13). The record indicates that Amnigaddah, as well as several generations of his family, were “born into captivity” and “lived all [their] days in captivity” (Ether 10:31) [1]. This suggests they were confined or restricted in some way, though the exact nature of their captivity is not specified.

Ether, the Jaredite prophet who compiled the record, provides this genealogical information as part of his account of the rise and fall of the Jaredite civilization (Ether 1:1-2) [2].
