“When we compare the people as the text invites us to do, we contrast the care the men of Limhi showed for their wives and children with the abandonment by the priests of Noah. All of these events define the lack of moral character of the priests. … The people of Limhi, on the other hand, ‘fought for their lives, and for their wives, and for their children’ (Mosiah 20:11). These differences reveal not only the character of the priests of Noah, who abandoned their families rather than fall into Lamanite hands, but also of the Nephites, who decided to face death with their families rather than abandon them” (Goff, “Stealing of the Daughters of the Lamanites,” 73).
