 Zoram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the First Book of Nephi, Zoram led Nephi, who was disguised as Laban, into Laban's treasury.
Nephi's appearance, along with the changing of his voice by the Lord to that of Laban, convinced Zoram to lead him to obtain the Brass Plates containing his people's genealogy and traditions.
Later, after discovering who Nephi really was, Zoram swore allegiance to him, and was permitted to come with him, his father Lehi and Lehi's other sons to the Americas.

 Did Father Lehi Have Daughters Who Married the Sons of Ishmael? - FARMS JBMS
Nephi and his brethren again were commanded to make the long and difficult journey to Jerusalem (they had previously obtained the brass plates) in order to recruit Ishmael and his family.
The interesting thing is that Nephi takes Ishmael (unlike Zoram) completely for granted, never explaining who he is or how he fits into the picture?the act of sending for him seems to be the most natural thing in the world, as does the marriage of his daughters with Lehi?s sons.
It must be recognized, of course, that the remote possibility exists that the "sisters" mentioned by Nephi were born to Lehi on this continent and were not the wives of Ishmael's sons.

 Ipissima Verba: The Voice of God in the Small Plates of Nephi
First, as discussed previously, the Lord expects the words of the prophets to be given the same respect as if had spoken them (DandC 21:5).
First, the Small Plates of Nephi show a distinct difference in the form of revelation used by God in comparison with the Book of Isaiah and the Old Testament.
Also, tracking certain ipsissima verba phrases from the beginning of the Book of Mormon to the end would provide an interesting case study to test whether direct messages from deity are subject to generational re-telling and the gradual loss or change of their meaning.

 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BOOK OF MORMON
For most of the LDS church's 150 year history, it was staunchly maintained by the church leaders that there were no changes in the Book of Mormon of a doctrinal nature.
”..there was not one thing in the Book of Mormon or in the second edition or in any other edition since that in any way contradicts the first edition, and such changes as were made were made by the prophet Joseph Smith because under those adverse conditions the Book of Mormon was published.
Many other citations could be given, but "out of the mouths of two or three witnesses..." it is evident that although the Lord supposedly dictated the Book of Mormon letter by letter, he could not spell, keep doctrine or characters straight, and even had serious problems with grammar and logic.
