The Land of Moron Where the King Dwelt Was Near the Land Desolation

“The Land of Moron: The king dwelt here. (Ether 7:5–6; 17) It was the capital, the center of Jaredite culture. To the generation of Orihah and Kib, following immediately after that of Jared and his brother, Moron was the Land of their first inheritance, (vv. 16–17) because it was a land which the two great leaders, before they passed away, undoubtedly, bequeathed to their posterity. In time it became the center of Jaredite history as well as culture. (Ether 14:11)” (Reynolds and Sjodahl, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, vol. 6, p. 38)
