Corihor²

Corihor was a Jaredite who lived during the era of Ether and Coriantumr, the latter being the last king of the Jaredites. The historical account of Corihor is terse, with the only detail recorded concerning him being in relation to his progeny. Specifically, it is noted that neither he, his sons, nor his daughters repented of their sins. This absence of repentance is highlighted as part of a broader narrative concerning the lack of righteousness among the inhabitants of the earth during that period (Ether 13:17). The brief mention of Corihor and his descendants underscores a theme of widespread iniquity and foreshadows the eventual downfall of the Jaredite civilization. It hints at a legacy marked by a generational continuation of sin, setting a somber tone for the concluding chapters of the Jaredite saga. Despite the limited information, Corihor’s mention in the record serves to encapsulate the moral state of the society in which he lived.
