1 Nephi 17:5–6

And we did come to the land which we called Bountiful, [i]1027[/i] [i]2679[/i] because of its much fruit and also wild honey; and all these things were prepared of the Lord that we might not perish. And we beheld the sea, which we called Irreantum, which, being interpreted, is many waters. [v]129[/v] [i]1316[/i]

And it came to pass that we did pitch our tents by the seashore; and notwithstanding we had suffered many afflictions and much difficulty, yea, even so much that we cannot write them all, we were exceedingly rejoiced when we came to the seashore; and we called the place Bountiful, because of its much fruit. [i]2213[/i]
