16  And we did follow the ^adirections of the ball, which led us in the more fertile parts of the wilderness.

  38  And now, my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the thing which our fathers call a ball, or director—or our fathers called it ^aLiahona, which is, being interpreted, a compass; and the Lord prepared it.

  21  And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

  4  Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the ^away by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
