H Donl Peterson: “The Book of Mormon declares that the origin of such murderous conspiracies can be traced back to Lucifer through Cain, ‘who was a murderer from the beginning.’ Following their strange, quasi-religious meeting, the successful conspirators dispersed to their various ordinary pursuits, blending into Nephite society in such a way that the government could find only some of them. So religiously—if we may use that word—did they keep their oaths, that many of the group, including Kishkumen himself, remained at large.”
