“We Did Begin to Multiply and Prosper in the Land”

Brant Gardner

The fact that these urban centers, though populated (since the people had to move away to make room for them), were dilapidated, suggests that the king gave Zeniff poorer lands rather than the most thriving. The Zeniffites’ industry eventually allowed them to accumulate wealth and finance Noah’s great building spree, but their beginnings were humble.
