The Book of Mormon

Alma 50:25

1830 Edition

And it came to pass that in the commencement of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the Judges, there would also have been peace among the people of Nephi, had it not been for a contention which took place among them concerning the land of Lehi, and the land of Morianton, which joined upon the borders of Lehi; both of which were on the borders, by the sea shore.

And it came to pass that in the commencement of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the Jjudges, there would also have been peace among the people of Nephi, had it not been for a contention which took place among them concerning the land of Lehi, and the land of Morianton, which joined upon the borders of Lehi; both of which were on the borders, by the sea shore.

Simple English

At the start of the twenty-fourth year, there would have been peace too. But there was a fight about the land of Lehi and the land of Morianton. Morianton was next to the border of Lehi. Both lands were by the seashore.

Paraphrase

The twenty-fourth year would have been peaceful as well, except a dispute broke out over the territories of Lehi and Morianton. These two coastal lands bordered each other.
