The '''Liahona''', as described in the [[Book of Mormon]], is a "brass ball with two pointers that gave directions—as a [[compass]]—and also spiritual instruction to [[Lehi]] and his followers when they were righteous. The Lord provided the Liahona and gave instructions through it." <ref>[http://scriptures.lds.org/en/gs/l/24 Guide to the Scriptures: Liahona], LDS.org</ref>
