Gallim

Gallim is mentioned in the Book of Mormon in the context of a prophecy taken from the writings of Isaiah. Specifically, the passage comes from 2 Nephi 20:30, which correlates with Isaiah 10:30 from the Bible: “Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim; cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.” In this context, Gallim is called upon to raise its voice, denoting an urgency or a need for alertness and action within the narrative. The reference places Gallim in close proximity to Anathoth and implies it is north of Jerusalem, near Laishah. This correlates with biblical scripture that identifies Gallim as one of the additional cities of Judah, which appears in the Septuagint version of Joshua 15:59. While no extensive detail about Gallim’s role or inhabitants is provided in the Book of Mormon, its mention suggests an acknowledgment of its biblical significance and a continuity within the scriptural narrative that encompasses both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The call for Gallim to “lift up the voice” can be seen as a call to witness or possibly a warning of coming events.
