Shazer is a place on the Arabian peninsula referenced in the Book of Mormon as one of the stops on the Old World segment of Lehi's journey ([[s:Book of Mormon/1 Nephi#16 13|1 Nephi16 13]]). (See Archaeology and the Book of Mormon.) It was at this location that Lehi's group stopped to hunt "in the wilderness" ([[s:Book of Mormon/1 Nephi#16 14|1 Nephi16 14]]). According to the narrative, this location was named by Lehi. The practice of naming locations after family members is a known Semitic practice. Several LDS researchers believe that they have determined a plausible location for Shazer. One of these locations is the oasis of al-Muwaylih near the shore of the Red Sea. LDS scholar Hugh Nibley compared the name Shazer to other known names and their meanings. Nibley states that the term shajer is common in Palestinian place-names and that it means "trees." Variants of the term are presented as Sajur, Shaghur, and Segor, all said to represent a collection of trees. Nibley also mentions "a famous water hole in South Arabia, called Shisur by [Bertram] Thomas and Shisar by Philby." A ruined city called "Shisur" and a permanent spring exist 90 miles northwest of Salalah in Oman on the route of the frankincence trail. Some LDS scholars claim that they found Shazer. The name of this location is today wadi Sharma.
