A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Moronihah, City of

by George Reynolds

MORONIHAH, CITY OF. One of the great and iniquitous cities of the Nephites destroyed at the time of the Savior's crucifixion. The earth, during the great convulsions that then occurred, was carried up upon the city; it and its people were buried, and in its place stood a great mountain. Thus were its iniquities and abominations hid from the face of the Lord, and the blood of the prophets and saints came up no more to Him against them (III Nephi, 8:10, 25; 9:5). Nothing is written which throws any light on the location of this ill-fated city.
