In the Book of Mormon, Laman (BoM Arabic لامان Lāmān) was one of the rebellious sons of Lehi and lived around 600 BC. He and his brother Lemuel were ancestors of the Lamanites. Their brother Nephi was the ancestor of the Nephites.
Laman was Lehi's first-born son. Despite his priveleged status he was a bad example to his younger brothers, rejecting the teachings of his father (in particular his prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem in 600 BC. He and Lemuel persecuted and beat their brothers Sam and Nephi. Because God chose Nephi to lead Lehi's descendents after his death, Laman maintained that he had been robbed of his birthright and tought his children to hate the Nephites, resulting in constant wars between the two peoples for nearly 600 years.
