Book of Mormon Alma 37:45

Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 16:16
"the ball, which led us in the more fertile parts of the wilderness"

THE TEXT'S OWN TYPOLOGY - textual because the text states the reading itself (Alma: the compass is a type of the word of Christ, 37:43-45), same class as the frozen exemplar's tree-equals-love-of-God. The far end is the navigation fact the type rests on (1 Ne 16:16). 37:44's 'straight course' is Alma's own term - 1 Nephi never calls the compass's course straight (disclosed on page).
