Orihahs Days Were Exceeding Many

Alan C. Miner

Moroni notes that Orihah reigned "in righteousness all his days, whose days were exceeding many" (Ether 7:1). According to Glenn Scott, since Orihah was of the first generation following the flight from the great tower, a contemporary of biblical patriarchs who lived hundreds of years (see Genesis 11:18-21), it is no surprise that Orihah's days were termed "exceeding many."
