All references to Narrow, Small, Neck, Pass, and Passage


Narrow, Small, Neck, Pass, and Passage

Narrow pass and Narrow passage

Al. 50:34 – Teancum stops Morianton and people before reaching the narrow pass, which led by the sea into the land northward, yea, by the sea, on the west and on the east. (67 BC)
Al. 52:9 – Moroni has Teancum fortify the land Bountiful, and secure the narrow pass, which led into the land northward, lest the Lamanites should obtain that point and should have power to harass them on every side. (66 BC)
Mormon 2:29 – Lamanites gave the Nephites the land northward, yea, even to the narrow passage, which led into the land southward.  Lamanites get all the land southward. (AD 350)
Mormon 3:5 – And it came to pass that I (Mormon) did cause my people that they should gather themselves together at the land Desolation, to a city which was in the borders, by the narrow pass, which led into the land southward. (AD 360)


Small neck

Al.22:32 – 1-1/2 day’s journey from the east to the west sea, . . . there being a small neck of land between the land northward and the land southward. (90-77 BC) (Sounds like an isthmus to me.)


Narrow neck

Eth. 10:20 - Jaredites built a great city by the narrow neck of land, by the place where the sea divides the land.
