And he also declared unto them

that they might have the liberty of worshiping the Lord their God

according to their desires, in whatsoever place they were in,

if it were in the land which was under the reign of king Lamoni.

Alma 22:21

Now when the queen saw the fear of the servants

she also began to fear exceedingly,

lest there should some evil come upon her.

that they might slay Aaron and his brethren.

Alma 22:33

And it came to pass that the Nephites had inhabited the land Bountiful,

even from the east unto the west sea,

and thus the Nephites in their wisdom, with their guards and their armies,

had hemmed in the Lamanites on the south,

that thereby they should have no more possession on the north,

that they might not overrun the land northward.

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.
