Yea, and even they did spread forth into all parts of the land,

into whatever parts it had not been rendered desolate and without timber,

because of the many inhabitants who had before inherited the land.

who had before inhabited the land it was called desolate.

Helaman 4:13

And because of this their great wickedness,

and their boastings in their own strength,

they were left in their own strength;

therefore they did not prosper,

but were afflicted and smitten, and driven before the Lamanites,

until they had lost possession of almost all their lands.

Helaman 6:34

And thus we see that the Nephites did begin to dwindle in unbelief,

and grow in wickedness and abominations,

while the Lamanites began to grow exceedingly in the knowledge of their God;

yea, they did begin to keep his statutes and commandments,

and to walk in truth and uprightness before him.
