“How could [the Lamanites] get away with that? Didn’t [the king] have enough men to protect them if this happened regularly? Well, for one thing the Lamanites played the game for sport; it was more than meat that they were after, for ‘they delighted in the destruction of their brethren; and for this cause they stood to scatter the flocks of the king’ (Alma 17:35). They thought it was great sport. The Arabs have a saying, ‘If we cease ghaza, we will cease to live. A ghaza is a raid; our word raid is from the Arabic ghaza. They must raid or life isn’t worth living. ‘Life is raiding’” (Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, 2:368).
