“That They May Inherit the Land Jershon”

Brant Gardner

The decision is not only to allow the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi in to the land, but to give them a land of their own. It is this decision as much as anything else that demonstrates that there must have been such a suggestion in the proclamation. Whatever process the voice of the people was, anything dealing with so many people could not have come to this clear a decision without some guidance. Even were it obvious that the Anti-Nephi-Lehies should be granted a land, the particular land to be granted would have been the subject of wide difference of opinion.
