ALMA 14:73 [25:13]: And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that they could not overpower the Nephites, they returned again to their own land; and many of them came over to dwell in the land of Ishmael and the land of Nephi, and did join themselves to the people of God, who were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi;
Commentary: This verse references the places of Ishmael, Nephi, a ridge between the East Wilderness and Ishmael and Nephi, and the East Wilderness. The Lamanites were in the East Wilderness at this time. The phrase 'came over' means the Lamanites came over a ridge in order to get to the land of Nephi and the land of Ishmael.
