17  And it came to pass that when he had poured out his soul to God, he named all the land which was ^asouth of the land Desolation, yea, and in fine, all the land, both on the north and on the south—A chosen land, and the land of liberty.

  5  And it came to pass that I 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.

  31  And they came from there up into the south wilderness. Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation, and the land on the southward was called Bountiful, it being the wilderness which is filled with all manner of wild animals of every kind, a part of which had come from the land northward for food.
