From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the early Jaredite. For other Jaredites named Heth, and other uses, see Heth (disambiguation).

According to the Book of Mormon, Heth was a Jaredite who lived in ancient America. He is notable in that he is a descendant of Jared, and an ancestor to the prophet Ether.[1]

Heth was the son of Com, the king of the Jaredite nation, and dethroned his father to take the throne himself[2] by turning to "secret plans"[3] (Secret combinations).
