Now, as Ammon was thus teaching the people of Lamoni continually,

we will return to the account of Aaron and his brethren;

save it were the land of Ishmael;

And it came to pass that the king sent a proclamation throughout all the land,

amongst all his people who were in all his land,

who were in all the regions round about,

which was bordering even to the sea, on the east and on the west,

and which was divided from the land of Zarahemla

by a narrow strip of wilderness, which ran from the sea east even to the sea west,

and round about on the borders of the seashore, and the borders of the wilderness

which was on the north by the land of Zarahemla, through the borders of Manti,

by the head of the river Sidon, running from the east towards the west —

and thus were the Lamanites and the Nephites divided.

Now, the more idle part of the Lamanites lived in the wilderness, and dwelt in tents;

and they were spread through the wilderness on the west, in the land of Nephi;

and thus bordering along by the seashore.

on the line Bountiful and the land Desolation,

from the east to the west sea;

were nearly surrounded by water,

there being a small neck of land

between the land northward and the land southward.

Alma 22:34

Therefore the Lamanites could have no more possessions

only in the land of Nephi, and the wilderness round about.

Now this was wisdom in the Nephites — as the Lamanites were an enemy to them,

they would not suffer their afflictions on every hand,

and also that they might have a country

whither they might flee, according to their desires.
