This article by TJ Uriona explores the phrase "skin of blackness" used in 2 Nephi 5:21. Uriona provides evidence in support of the claim that, within an ancient near-eastern context, this phrase can be understood as a motif for death. Uriona pulls from multiple sources to support his claim, including texts contemporary to Nephi's era that use similar phrases, and passages of the Old Testament. He also explores other potential meanings of the phrase, supported by historical evidence. This essay offers a valuable reading of 2 Nephi that enhances the anti-racist effort of the church, as church leaders have clearly rejected a racialized reading of this verse.
