for the space of three days over the face of the land.
3 Nephi 8:19
And it came to pass that when the thunderings, and the lightnings,
and the storm, and the tempest, and the quakings of the earth did cease —
for behold, they did last for about the space of three hours;
and it was said by some that the time was greater;
nevertheless, all these great and terrible things were done
in about the space of three hours —
and then behold, there was darkness upon the face of the land.
3 Nephi 8:23
And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days
that there was no light seen;
and there was great mourning and howling and weeping
among all the people continually;
yea, great were the groanings of the people,
because of the darkness and the great destruction
which had come upon them.

And it came to pass that thus did the three days pass away.
And it was in the morning,
and the darkness dispersed from off the face of the land,
and the earth did cease to tremble,
and the rocks did cease to rend, and the dreadful groanings did cease,
and all the tumultuous noises did pass away.
