and we had many seasons of peace;

that he should flee out of the land of Nephi,

Omni 1:13

And it came to pass that he did according as the Lord had commanded him.

And they departed out of the land into the wilderness,

as many as would hearken unto the voice of the Lord;

until they came down into the land which is called the land of Zarahemla.

And at the time that Mosiah discovered them,

they had become exceedingly numerous.

Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions,

and had fallen by the sword from time to time;

and their language had become corrupted;

and they had brought no records with them;

and they denied the being of their Creator;

and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them.
