“Who Am I?” Anagrams

Hidden in each sentence is an anagram of the person being described. (An anagram is a word formed by rearranging the letters of another word.) Example: Adam’s son carried a bale of wheat. Answer: Abel. Bale is an anagram of Abel. Note: These scriptures contain the answers but not in the same order as the anagram sentences: 1 Nephi 19:10 [1 Ne. 19:10]; Alma 2:20; Alma 2:21–22; 3 Nephi 19:4 [3 Ne. 19:4]; Ether 1:29–30; Moroni 9:2 [Moro. 9:2].

  1. I was sent by Alma to spy for the Nephites; Roman was not.

  2. A mural shows me, a Nephite officer, being killed with a sword.

  3. More than just the son of Shule, I was the father of Emer.

  4. A son of Nephi, I was chosen as one of the twelve disciples by Jesus Christ; Jason was not.

  5. A heron may have watched as I slew Gideon.

  6. A menu of the prophecies about the death of Jesus Christ would include mine that He would be crucified.
