In Alma 30:6 it mentions that "there came a man into the land of Zarahemla." Where did this man come from? In view of the fact that in the verses following this one Mormon talks about this same man going to the land of Jershon (Alma 30:19) and the land of Gideon (Alma 30:21), which were local lands within the general land of Zarahemla, Mormon is probably saying in Alma 30:6 that "there came a man into the [local] land of Zarahemla. If this was the case, then Korihor came from somewhere in the general land of Zarahemla. Exactly where he came from is unknown. The name Korihor (Corihor) was apparently a Jaredite (Mulekite?) name (Ether 7:4-5). If that were the case, then because Jaredite (Mulekite) people had migrated from the land northward, then Korihor might have come from a land northward from the local land of Zarahemla. Previously, it was mentioned that the somewhat northerly city of Ammonihah was called a city of Nehors. The name Nehor has also been linked with the Jaredites (Ether 7:4-5). We might take a guess here and say that Korihor came from the area around Ammonihah. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
