MORMON 3:5 [6:4]: And it came to pass that we did march forth to the land of Cumorah, and we did pitch our tents round about the hill Cumorah; and it was in a land of many waters, rivers and fountains; and here we had hope to gain advantage over the Lamanites.
Commentary: This verse references the places of Cumorah, hill Cumorah, and the land of many waters, rivers, and fountains. The land of Cumorah and hill Cumorah were in a land of many waters, rivers and fountains. Fountains are deep pools in rivers. The term 'many waters' means a sea. This puts the land of Cumorah in proximity to a sea. Since the land of dry bones is the same as the land of Cumorah and the bones came from the armies of Shiz and Coriantumr, the sea would be the Sea East.
