According to the Book of Mormon, the Jaredites (/ˈdʒɛrəˌdaɪts/) 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 (/ˈiː.θər/). The Lineage 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 (/ˈdʒɛr.əd/), an ancestor to Ether, and most were also Kings of the Jaredites.
