Saria in the wake 5
The figure seems to be a woman associated with the figure of Lehi. Female characteristics are suggested by what appears to be a cover for the head that flows over the shoulders and knees position, which are typical of indigenous women in Guatemala today. This blanket suggests that the figure may represent Sariah, Lehi's wife and mother of Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi. Sariah figure bent back, similar the figure of Lehi.
The bent back, suggests that she is an older person who is associated with the figure of Lehi as either an assistant or a wife. The headdress is rare in Mesoamerica. Suggests the presence of feathers fees associated with the deity, as a priestess. Contact with the eyes of the figure of the angel looking Sariah or the tree may express the will of his party to participate in the fruit of the tree. Feathers between the horns are symbols of death and, as such, suggests the concept of life which springs from death or resurrection. In Hebrew, the name Sarah means princess or Sariah. The headdress of the figure of Sariah justifies the requirement. The dualism of Nephi figure in relation to Figure Sariah also deserves mention. Whereas the figure of Nephi contains symbols of birth associated with it, Figure Sariah has symbols of death associated with it - the latter being represented by the posterior slope and old age, the higher position of the figure in an upward motion. The symbols of resurrection, as mentioned, are also present in Figure Sariah. Therefore, the text of Stela 5 represent man's journey through life. Finally, the fish Ring-tailed in the right hand of the figure Sariah has apparently been sacrificed to the instrument in his left hand. Two fish are also present in the top of the sculpture, as well as on the figure Lemuel near Angel "A." The two fish above the figure of Lemuel what appear to be pieces of fruit in the mouth. The fruit may suggest a desire to Lehi to his family to partake of the fruit. The fruit can also represent death. The resurrection is represented by the same two fish in the upper panel are now returning to earth. Exploring the Lands of The Book of Mormon, Joseph L. Allen, Ph.D.
Sam in the Stela 5
Sam, the older brother of Nephi, expressed will keep the commandments of God. When Lehi blessed Sam, Sam was blessed with Nephi
... he [Lehi] spoke to Sam, saying: Blessed art thou, and thy seed, for you to inherit the earth as your brother Nephi. And your offspring will be reckoned with that of Nephi and you will even like your brother and your descendants like su desendencia, y serás bendecido en todos tus días. (2 Nefi 4:11)
La imagen representa posiblemente a Sam. Su altura y posición sentada lo califica para ser algo más que un asistente de la figura de Nefi. La sombrilla se apoya sobre los dos la figura de Nefi y la figura de Sam. Este posicionamiento sugiere más bien un papel de apoyo en comparación con un papel criado por la figura de Sam.
Los rasgos faciales de la figura de Sam en la estela 5 han sido erosionados, lo que hace que los detalles sean indescifrable. Sin embargo, el contacto con la nariz de la figura de Sam con lo que Norman identifica como el cuerpo de la serpiente Sam lo alinea con Quetzalcóatl (serpiente emplumada), or Christ, As a result, the text of stone Stela 5 show that Sam is willing to partake of the fruit of the tree of life. Sam expressed the will to follow Nephi in the wilderness, as they are separated from their brothers Laman and Lemuel:
... I, Nephi took my family ... and Sam, my brother and his family .... (2 Nephi 5:6)
additional symbolism is associated with the figure of Sam in terms of resurrection and eternal life. Norman found that the engravings of Stela 5, not only portrays the story of Lehi's family, but also indicate responsibility for humanity's pursuit of eternal life through Christ's atonement. The back of the figure of Sam is close to what appears to be a stream of water. As the rain comes down in the jungle area of \u200b\u200bIzapa, the evaporation process begins immediately to heaven. This can be symbolically related to the birth of man and his subsequent ascension
spirit after death to the spiritual world with the God who gave him life.

Nephi Stela 5
Jakeman proposed that the image depicts the prophet Nephi, son of Lehi. The figure of Nephi is the same size as the Lehi and is contained in an authoritarian gesture so much the same way that the figure of Lehi. The figure of Nephi is a tool in the left hand, which can be a pencil or a chisel. He has the appearance of writing in registers. Her headdress consists of cereals and is a young god of the grains, whose Egyptian name is called or Nepi Nepri. (Jakeman 1958:45)
Sam in the Stela 5
The fringed parasol or umbrella is maintained with respect to the figure of Nephi is both a Maya, a symbol that represents old world royalty. The headdress seems to identify the figure Nephi as a high priest of God. The symbol of inverted question mark near her mouth suggests that he is speaking. Contact with the glyph's speech the Angel "B", suggests that the figure of Nephi speaks for God.
The small skull head that rests on the forehead of the figure Nephi has what appears to be a piece of fruit from the tree in the mouth. This may suggest that the figure of Nephi is willing to share in the fruits of the tree or is willing to follow the commandments of God. As a result, after death, represented by the skull, the figure of Nephi can claim eternal life through Christ's atonement.

Lehi = Quijada
Original Word: לֶ ֫ חִי
Transliteration: Lechi
Phonetic Spelling: (lekh'-ee)
Definition of Lehi: From an unused root meaning of the cheek bone or jaw bone
In Hebrew this word is Lechi, the "ch" being practically the same as our "h." In Palestine, a mountainous district in Judea, near Jerusalem, was known as Lehi. (Judges 15:19) Samson, after his battle with the Philistines, and threw his only weapon, the jawbone of an ass, and called the place of combat Ramat-Lehi, "The Hill of Lehi." Then he was thirsty, and the Lord, in answer to his prayer, he opened a crack in the hill and left water there. So he called the spring, In-hakkore, "the spring of that he calls" (in response to prayer), which is in Lehi to this day. "This incident is remembered by the name of the father of Nephi.
TA Joyce mentioned an Indian tribe in Colombia, located north of the Chibcha, which he called the Laches, a name that seems to be identical to the Hebrew Lechi and the Book of Mormon Lehi.
We noticed that the name is known far away in the Hawaiian Islands. In the November 1921, Pacific Paradise, a magazine published in Honolulu, there is the statement that the former name of Diamond Head, a prominent volcano was Leahi. This is not only a very slight variation in spelling.

Lehi in the Stela 5
The element of the history of both Stela 5 and Lehi's vision relates to the experience of Lehi. On the monument, Lehi may be represented by the figure of the old man as shown in the picture. In this representation Lehi represents the legendary ancestor spoken of in the history of Mesoamerica. He is leaning forward with his hand in a gesture or teaching position. He is sitting on a cushion similar to the altars that rest against many of the stone monuments in the area where the Stela 5. A jaw bone immediately behind the head was given by Jakeman to be a glyph that represents the name of Lehi.

Angeles or Cherubim in the Stela 5
angels or cherubs play an important role both in Lehi's vision in the tree of life carved on Stela 5. They take care of the tree of life Izapa. In the Book of Mormon, Lehi is led by an angel to the tree of life, and an angel gives Nephi interpretation. In figure 5 highlights Estela cherubim guarding the tree of life. The two cherubim (or deities or angels) are the same size. Masks and poultry appear to be purely symbolic. The great height of the cherubim and the fact that all the other figures have direct or indirect contact with these deities suggest that a person must go through them to partake of the fruit of the tree.

The Tree of Life in the Stela 5
Dominating Stela 5 is a tree loaded with fruit located in the center of the carved design, with its roots in a base of soil from the top panel and its branches extend to a panel of heaven. (Norman 1976:166)
The tree in the Stela 5 is an aspect of the great ceiba independent is common to the area where the stone. The tree that bears fruit, especially white it is also the focus of the vision. The tree of life, simply represents Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. He is the tree of life. By partaking of the fruit of the tree, we can have eternal life, which is possible through the atonement of Christ.
