Their dead bodies were heaped up upon the face of the earth, and they were covered with a shallow covering. And now so great was the scent thereof that the people did not go in to possess the land of Ammonihah for many years. Alma 16:11 Alma 16:11
Who asked God to send a famine that killed thousands of people?
Nephi (the son of Helaman Jr.)
Nephi did cry unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, do not suffer that this people shall be destroyed by the sword; but O Lord,
rather let there be a famine in the land. ... And so it was done, according to the words of Nephi. And there was a
great famine upon the land. ... They did perish by thousands. Helaman 11:3
