Alma 43:9

And now the design of the Nephites was to support their lands, and their houses,

and their wives, and their children,

that they might preserve them from the hands of their enemies;

and also that they might preserve their rights and their privileges,

yea, and also their liberty,

that they might worship God according to their desires.

Alma 43:22

Behold, now it came to pass that

they durst not come against the Nephites in the borders of Jershon;

therefore they departed out of the land of Antionum into the wilderness,

and took their journey round about in the wilderness,

away by the head of the river Sidon,

that they might come into the land of Manti and take possession of the land;

for they did not suppose

that the armies of Moroni would know whither they had gone.

Alma 43:24

And it came to pass that the word of the Lord came unto Alma,

and Alma informed the messengers of Moroni,

that the armies of the Lamanites were marching round about in the wilderness,

that they might come over into the land of Manti,

that they might commence an attack upon the weaker part of the people.

And those messengers went and delivered the message unto Moroni.

Alma 43:29

And now, as Moroni knew the intention of the Lamanites,

that it was their intention to destroy their brethren,

or to subject them and bring them into bondage

that they might establish a kingdom unto themselves over all the land;
