Was Beit Lehi the home of Lehi and Sariah?

In 2009, professor Jeffrey R. Chadwick shared his personal opinion that Beit Lehi could not be the ancestorial home of Lehi and Sariah, two characters from the Book of Mormon. His argument is based on his misinterpretation of the word “at” as used in 1NE 1:4 and 1NE 1:7.

In 2015, Captain Kirk clearly demonstrated in his article titled “At Jerusalem“, that Beit Lehi located 22 miles south east of Jerusalem, could be Judean home of Lehi, Sariah, and their children.

While we currently have no archeological evidence that this was Lehi’s home, it does not remove the possibility that Beit Lehi could have been the ancestral home of Lehi and his family.
