How many times is the promise keep my commandments and ye shall prosper in the land used in the Book of Mormon?
I counted 100 instances of the word "Promise" (and variations such as 'promised' and 'promises') in the Book of Mormon. Most of the time this was linked with "promised land" or "land of promise". The phrase "keep my commandments" is used 25 times in the Book of Mormon. The phrase "ye shall prosper in the land" is used 10 times in the Book of Mormon. Each one of these instances is in the same verse as a variation of the phrase 'keep my commandments' or 'keep the commandments'.

There are two men named Moroni in the Book of Mormon. One is the Captain Moroni. We are never told who his father is. He is first introduced in Alma 43:16 at the age of 25.The second Moroni is the one who became the Angel Moroni. His father was Mormon, the man who compiled the Book of Mormon.
Did the Mormon get their name from moors?
No. "Mormon" is a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The nickname was originally given to them as a way to mock their belief in the Book of Mormon, but most members have embraced it. The name "Mormon" is from the Book of Mormon, which is said to have been transcribed by an ancient prophet named Mormon in about 300 A.D.

What words did the book of Mormon contribute to the English language?
Most of the unique words in the Book of Mormon are proper names. These words are not in common use in the English language, aside from a few cities and towns which were founded by Mormons and given these names. For example: Nephi, Lehi, Cumorah, Manti, or Moroni. The word "Mormon" comes from the Book of Mormon, and is probably the most used unique Book of Mormon word in the English language. Another unique word in the Book of Mormon is 'Deseret' which means honeybee. The word Deseret is often used in businesses or organizations owned by Mormons or the Mormon church - for example, Deseret Book, Deseret Industries, Deseret Ranch, and Deseret Transportation.
How is the book of Mormon similar to another book?
The Book of Mormon is really quite unique but does bear some resemblance to other published and unpublished works.While I wouldn't say the Book of Mormon is similar to the Bible, it is comparable to the Bible; and is indeed considered by believers to be a companion scripture to the Bible, as they verify and testify of each other. The language, values, and religious doctrines found in the Bible are repeated in the Book of Mormon, and one must have at least a basic knowledge of the Bible in order to understand and appreciate the Book of Mormon.Some critics have said that the Book of Mormon was plagiarized from an unpublished story manuscript written by Solomon Spalding. Spalding's story was a fictional historic romance set in the culture of the mound-building civilizations in North America and purported to be translated from a record found either in a cave or buried underground in Ohio. It was about Romans from the fourth century discovering America. The Book of Mormon was translated from a record found buried in New York and tells the story of Israelites traveling to the Americas to flee the prophesied destruction of Jerusalem in 600 BC and the history of their descendants through 300 AD. Most historians, even anti-Mormon historians, agree that while the general plot between Spaulding's manuscript and the Book of Mormon are similar, it his highly improbable that those associated with the Book of Mormon's publishing were acquainted with Spalding's manuscript story.Some ideas found in the Book of Mormon were previously published in the book View of the Hebrews by Ethan Smith, a Congregationalist minister. These ideas, including the idea that the Native Americans are one of the lost Tribes of Israel, were somewhat common among Christians of the day. View of the Hebrews has been used to both support and refute the Book of Mormon.
Who was Mormon the compiler of the Book of Mormon?
We don't know much about Mormon, except that he was the compiler of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon states that he was a Nephite prophet that lived from about 311 to 385 AD. He was a military leader for most of his life, beginning at the young age of 15. He was instructed by Ammaron to prepare to take charge of record keeping, then recorded the history of his own lifetime and abridged the large plates of Nephi. He passed on his recording duties to his son Moroni, who completed the work.

When was the Mormon written?
Do you mean the Book of Mormon? Most of the Book of Mormon was written between the reign of Zedekiah of Judah (about 600 BC) and about 430 AD. One portion was written at a time earlier than this and describes events that happened shortly after the fall of the Tower of Babel. The Book of Mormon was buried by its last writer, Moroni, somewhere near 430 AD. Moroni then appeared to Joseph Smith in the mid 1820's and lead him to the place where the record was buried. Joseph Smith translated it into English and the Book of Mormon was first published in 1830. The Book of Mormon is used as scripture along with the Holy Bible by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly nicknamed the "Mormon" church).

Is nephi a state or a country?
Nephi is a city in Utah, named by the Mormon pioneers in reference to the Book of Mormon prophet Nephi. In the Book of Mormon there is also a land (city/state) called Nephi, presumed by most modern believers to have been located somewhere in ancient South or Central America.
Who is Joseph in the book of Mormon?
There are a couple Josephs mentioned in the Book of Mormon. The most prominent is the son of a prophet named Lehi, who left Jerusalem with his family in 600 b.c. He later took over the roll of prophet after the death of his brother, Nephi, who inherited the position from his father. The Biblical Joseph who was sold into Egypt is also mentioned several times in the Book of Mormon.
How long did it take for Joseph smith to translate the book of Mormon?
It all depends on your reading ability and what kind of attention you are giving to the book. The English language edition of the Book of Mormon is just over 500 pages. Although the text is quite small, it also includes many footnotes and cross references. I have heard of people reading through the Book of Mormon in a single day, although most people who are reading the Book of Mormon and carefully and prayerfully studying it as a work of scripture and the sacred word of God usually take a month to a year to complete it cover to cover. Many reading plans for the Book of Mormon are 100-day plans, with you reading about 5 pages a day. The fastest I have ever completed the Book of Mormon was two months, but I was also recording my thoughts and feelings in the margins as a read.
