And it came to pass that we kept spies out round about, to watch the movements of the Lamanites, that they might not pass us by night, nor by day, to make an attack upon our other cities, which were on the northward;.
Simple English

Paraphrase
“We posted scouts all around to track Lamanite movements. We couldn’t let them slip past us—day or night—to attack our other cities to the north.”
