Lehi in the Desert, Nibley, p. 6; refer in this text to Omni 1:13

“The brothers set out with their tents to go up to the land of Jerusalem. Approaching Jerusalem from any wilderness requires an ascent in elevation. All the locative adverbs in the next pages of scripture accurately depict the topography of Judah and the deserts to the south.” (Kelly Ogden, Studies in Scriptures, ed. by K. Jackson, 7:27)
