Why was Ammoron Determined to Avenge the Blood of His Brother? (Knowhy #162)
KnoWhy Videos | 01 min
“I am Ammoron, the king of the Lamanites; I am the brother of Amalickiah whom ye have murdered. Behold, I will avenge his blood upon you”
Alma 54:16
The language in Alma 54 suggests that Ammoron was familiar with the underlying institution of blood redemption. He saw himself as acting in a redemptive capacity. His threat to Moroni that he would specifically “avenge [his brother Amalickiah’s] blood upon you” invokes and captures the thrust of the blood vengeance mechanism stemming from the earliest days of ancient Israelite history.
