Kolob

Uncommon card · No. 198325

In the Book of Abraham, Kolob ( KOH-lob) is a star described as the heavenly body nearest to the throne of God. Several Latter Day Saint denominations believe that the Book of Abraham was translated from an ancient Egyptian papyrus scroll by Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. While the Book of Abraham calls Kolob a star, it also calls planets stars, and therefore some Latter-day Saint commentators consider Kolob a planet. Kolob also appears in the culture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), such as the hymn "If You Could Hie to Kolob."
