Sure. But what does that have to do with the Jews as a whole? Lehi was a Jew of the House of Israel, but aren't there several parts in the BoM (especially Jacob 5) that indicate that America is for Lehi's seed (and eventually the Gentiles)?
That's what leads me to take the other scriptures refering to the Jews' land of inheritance at face value to mean their promised land (Jerusalem and the surrounding area).
