“The Order of the Nehors”

Alan C. Miner

In Alma 24:28 it says: "Now the greatest number of those of the Lamanites who slew so many of their brethren were Amalekites and Amulonites, the greatest number of whom were after the order of the Nehors." What was this "order of the Nehors," and what did it motivate people to do? Apparently it related to the practice of priestcraft which was preached by the man called Nehor (Alma 1:1-20). [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes] [See the commentary on Alma 1:1-20. See also the commentary on Alma 25:4]
