because of the generosity and the greatness of the words of thy brother Ammon;

and I desire to know the cause why he has not come up out of Middoni with thee.

and that the sting of death should be swallowed up in the hopes of glory;

And they came from there up into the south wilderness.

with all manner of wild animals of every kind,

a part of which had come from the land northward for food.

on the line Bountiful and the land Desolation,

from the east to the west sea;

and thus the land of Nephi and the land of Zarahemla

were nearly surrounded by water,

there being a small neck of land

between the land northward and the land southward.
