==In Latter-day Saint theology==
In language nearly identical to that of the [[King James Version]], [[First Nephi]] 21:12 in the [[Book of Mormon]] reads: “And then, O house of Israel, behold, these shall come from far; and lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.”<ref>{{cite web|
