Ether 14:1 1 And now there began to be a great curse upon all the land because of the iniquity of the people, in which, if a man should lay his tool or his sword upon his shelf, or upon the place whither he would keep it, behold, upon the morrow, he could not find it, so great was the curse upon the land.
Ether 14:2 2 Wherefore every man did cleave unto that which was his own, with his hands, and would not borrow neither would he lend; and every man kept the hilt of his sword in his right hand, in the defence of his property and his own life and of his wives and children.

pursue him to the wilderness of Akish.

came up unto the land of Moron, and gave battle unto
Lib.

borders upon the seashore.

the plains of Agosh. And Coriantumr had taken

whither he fled.
