Mosiah 9:1

I, Zeniff, having been taught in all the language of the Nephites,

and having had a knowledge of the land of Nephi,

or of the land of our fathers' first inheritance,

and having been sent as a spy among the Lamanites

that I might spy out their forces,

that our army might come upon them and destroy them —

but when I saw that which was good among them

I was desirous that they should not be destroyed.

And yet, I being over–zealous to inherit the land of our fathers,

collected as many as were desirous to go up to possess the land,

and started again on our journey into the wilderness to go up to the land;

but we were smitten with famine and sore afflictions;

for we were slow to remember the Lord our God.

Nevertheless, after many days' wandering in the wilderness

we pitched our tents in the place where our brethren were slain,

which was near to the land of our fathers.

And it came to pass that we did inherit the land of our fathers for many years,

yea, for the space of twenty and two years.
