This is just a random note in my Book of Mormon study.

1 Nephi 1:9 reads:

And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he beheld that his luster was above that of the sun at noon-day.

I did a scripture search on the word “luster”, thinking it might appear in the KJV. It doesn’t. It doesn’t appear in the Doctrine and Covenants or Pearl of Great Price either. It only appears one other time in the Book of Mormon, in Mosiah 13:5, which reads:

Now it came to pass after Abinadi had spoken these words that the people of king Noah durst not lay their hands on him, for the Spirit of the Lord was upon him; and his face shone with exceeding luster, even as Moses’ did while in the mount of Sinai, while speaking with the Lord.
