Commentaries (view it on a map)

ALMA 6:4 [8:3]: And it came to pass in the commencement of the tenth year of the reign of the Judges over the people of Nephi, that Alma departed from thence, and took his journey over into the land of Melek, on the west of the river Sidon, on the west by the borders of the wilderness;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Melek, a ridge between Melek and Zarahemla, the river Sidon, the wilderness around Melek, and Zarahemla. The land of Melek is west of the river Sidon. From the relative locations of the lands in the area, the land of Melek may be south of the land of Minon. There is wilderness by the land of Melek. The term 'borders' indicates the wilderness had a boundary near the land of Melek. The phrase 'over into' means there is a ridge between the land of Zarahemla and the land of Melek.

ALMA 6:6 [8:5]: And it came to pass that the people came to him throughout all the borders of the land which was by the wilderness side.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Melek and the wilderness around Melek. This verse indicates that there is wilderness on only one side of the land of Melek. From Alma 6:4 [8:3], the phrase 'on the west by the borders of the wilderness' would put the wilderness side on the westward side of the land.
