Ammah (Book of Mormon)

This article is about the Book of Mormon figure. For the Biblical site, see Ammah.

According to the Book of Mormon, Ammah (/ˈæm.mɑː/[1]) was a Nephite missionary that lived in the 1st century BC. He was a companion to the missionary Aaron, who was the brother of the great missionary Ammon. Along with the brothers of Ammon, Ammah was part of the missionary delegation to the Lamanites[2] that eventually led to the conversion of the Ammonites. He is mentioned briefly in chapters 20 and 21 of the Book of Alma, and it is evident that he spent time in prison along with Aaron during his ministry.[3]
