[2] In the Book of Helaman, after Nephi abdicates the Chief Judgment Seat to Cezoram, he and his brother Lehi go to preach to the Lamanites, who imprison them.
Latter-day Saint (LDS) commenters on the Book of Mormon write that it is likely that Aminadab was a Zoramite, or a part of the Nephites who elected to follow Zoram.
In the journal Religious Educator, LDS teachers of seminary and institute invite readers to use the story of Aminadab to show that students sometimes look to their peers rather than their instructors for information, and as an example of someone who left the church but returned to teach the gospel afterwards.
[8] In the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, Michael F. Perry, an LDS lawyer, considers how Aminadab tells his fellow onlookers to "have faith in Christ, who was taught unto you by Alma, and Amulek, and Zeezrom.
[11] Another article in Religious Educator by seminary teacher Daniel J. Prestwich used Aminadab as a scriptural example of an individual who had previously dissented from the church, but "chose to become a missionary" when he taught his fellow onlookers to "cry unto the voice".
