What do we learn about the people of Ammonihah from this verse?

Thomas R. Valletta

“An important item in the religious legacy inherited by the Nephite people was the Holy Scriptures. By way of illustration, the words ‘Scriptures’ and ‘Holy Scriptures’ appear forty-one times in the Book of Mormon… .

“This treasury of truth apparently had not been seriously consulted by [the people of Ammonihah], however, or its precepts would not have been so outrageously violated” (Reynolds and Sjodahl, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, 3:214).
