No its not the Jacob Black of "Twilight" fame but this Jacob was a real hero and lived in the America's centuries before Jesus Christ. Jacob, who was the brother of Nephi, exercised his calling of God and in this chapter, he is speaking to the people of Nephi in the Temple speaking both to the righteous and to the wicked encouraging them to change their ways. Who knows? Stephanie Meyer wrote the Twilight series and may have had a soft spot for the Book of Mormon prophet, Jacob and decided to name the character as such! This is one of my favorite chapters of the Book of Mormon.

Chapter 3 of the Book of Jacob
The pure in heart receive the pleasing word of God—Lamanite righteousness exceeds that of Nephites Jacob warns against fornication, lasciviousness, and every sin. Between 544 and 421 B.C.
