“A Considerable Number”

Alan C. Miner

If Amaleki says that "a considerable number" went with the second group that desired to inherit the land of their inheritance (Omni 1:29), then how many would this be since many were killed in the first group? Did they take any Mulekites with them? Can we compare this "considerable number" with the number of people who originally came with Mosiah down to the land of Zarahemla? After all, there might only be a lapse of something like nine years between the two migrations. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
