Commentaries (view it on a map)

MOSIAH 11:69 [24:20]: And Alma and his people departed into the wilderness; and when they had traveled all day, they pitched their tents in a valley, and they called the valley Alma, because he led their way in the wilderness;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Helam, the valley Alma, and the wilderness between Helam and the valley Alma. The valley Alma is one day's travel from the city of Helam. There is wilderness between the city of Helam and the valley Alma.

MOSIAH 11:73 [24:23]: And now the Lord said unto Alma, Haste thee and get thou and this people out of this land, for the Lamanites have awakened and do pursue thee;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Helam and the valley Alma. The valley of Alma is close enough to the land of Helam to worry about pursuit.

MOSIAH 11:75 [24:24]: And it came to pass that they departed out of the valley, and took their journey into the wilderness.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Helam, the valley Alma, and the wilderness between the valley Alma and Zarahemla. The term 'they' refers to Alma and the people with him. The term 'into' indicates that the valley Alma is not in the wilderness. Since Alma and his people were fleeing from the land of Helam, the wilderness between the valley Alma and Zarahemla is on the side of the valley opposite the direction of Helam.

MOSIAH 11:76 [24:25]: And after they had been in the wilderness twelve days, they arrived to the land of Zarahemla; and King Mosiah did also receive them with joy.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Helam, valley Alma, the wilderness between the valley Alma and Zarahemla, and Zarahemla. The valley Alma is 12 days from the city of Zarahemla (while driving herds). Counting the one day from the land of Helam to the valley Alma, it is 13 days (while driving herds) from the land of Helam to the city of Zarahemla. There are six lands from the land of Helam to the land of Zarahemla. This averages about two days to cross each land.
