“The Land South Was Called Lehi”

Alan C. Miner

Helaman 6:10 says that "the land south was called Lehi." One must define what is meant by "land south." One might ask, South of what? What is the dividing line? And what is the extent of the land we are talking about? Was this the southern part of the possessions of the Nephites? Or was this the land south of the narrow strip of wilderness? Or was this the land south of the small neck of land? Whatever the decision, the dividing line marks the northern limits of where Lehi could have landed. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
