DESOLATION OF NEHORS

Lehite GN

1.

City/land formerly known as AMMONIHAH, which had been destroyed by the LAMANITES, ca. 78 BC (Alma 16:11), and noted for the sect of NEHORS.

No reconstruction of a Vorlage for DESOLATION is suggested. NEHORS is a plural genitive construct of a PN. Similar genitive constructs with NEHOR, but not in the plural, appear in Alma 14:16 & 18; 15:15; 16:11; and 24:29. On the PN see NEHOR below.

See Book of Mormon NEHOR and cf. Book of Mormon DESOLATION.
