Alma 50:1

And now it came to pass that

Moroni did not stop making preparations for war,

or to defend his people against the Lamanites;

in the commencement of the twentieth year of the reign of the judges,

that they should commence in digging up heaps of earth

round about all the cities, throughout all the land

which was possessed by the Nephites.

of the east wilderness, which was north of the lands of their own possessions,

should go forth into the east wilderness,

even to the borders by the seashore,

and possess the land.

in the east wilderness, yea, and also on the west,

fortifying the line between the Nephites and the Lamanites,

between the land of Zarahemla and the land of Nephi,

from the west sea, running by the head of the river Sidon —

the Nephites possessing all the land northward,

yea, even all the land which was northward of the land Bountiful,

according to their pleasure.

were delivered at all times,

whilst thousands of their wicked brethren have been consigned

to bondage, or to perish by the sword,

And it came to pass that in the commencement

of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the judges,

which joined upon the borders of Lehi;

both of which were on the borders by the seashore.

For behold, the people who possessed the land of Morianton

did claim a part of the land of Lehi;

and they were determined by the sword to slay them.

until they had come to the borders of the land Desolation;

and there they did head them, by the narrow pass

which led by the sea into the land northward,

yea, by the sea, on the west and on the east.
