The place called Mormon "was in the borders of the land" (Mosiah 18:4). But in the borders of what land? Was it the land of Mormon? Was it the local land of Nephi? Was it the land of Shilom? Or was it the general land of Nephi? Or was it possibly some unnamed land? I will presume it was in the borders of the general land of Nephi. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes] [See the commentary on Alma 5:3]
Note* Is the term "borders" a political boundary term, or a natural boundary term, or both? {Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
