“a senine, a seon, a shum, and a limnah of gold.”

AlmaChapter11

v1.10

Now it was in the law of Mosiah that every man who was a judge of the law, or those who were appointed to be judges, should receive wages according to the time which they labored to judge those who were brought before them to be judged.

Now if a man owed another, and he would not pay that which he did owe, he was complained of to the judge; and the judge executed authority, and sent forth officers that the man should be brought before him; and he judged the man according to the law and the evidences which were brought against him, and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he owed, or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people as a thief and a robber.

And the judge received for his wages according to his time—a senine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold; and this is according to the law which was given.

Now these are the names of the different pieces of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value. And the names are given by the Nephites, for they did not reckon after the manner of the Jews who were at Jerusalem; neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews; but they altered their reckoning and their measure, according to the minds and the circumstances of the people, in every generation, until the reign of the judges, they having been established by king Mosiah.

Now the reckoning is thus—a senine of gold, a seon of gold, a shum of gold, and a limnah of gold.

A senum of silver, an amnor of silver, an ezrom of silver, and an onti of silver.

A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either for a measure of barley, and also for a measure of every kind of grain.

Now the amount of a seon of gold was twice the value of a senine.

And a shum of gold was twice the value of a seon.

And a limnah of gold was the value of them all.

And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums.

And an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums.

And an onti was as great as them all.

Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their reckoning—

A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of barley.

And a shiblum is a half of a shiblon.

And a leah is the half of a shiblum.

Now this is their number, according to their reckoning.

Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

Now, it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ, therefore, they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ, that they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.

And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which was good; therefore, he said unto Amulek: Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?

And Amulek said unto him: Yea, if it be according to the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me; for I shall say nothing which is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord. And Zeezrom said unto him: Behold, here are six onties of silver, and all these will I give thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a Supreme Being.

Now Amulek said: O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me? Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations?

Believest thou that there is no God? I say unto you, Nay, thou knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more than him.

And now thou hast lied before God unto me. Thou saidst unto me—Behold these six onties, which are of great worth, I will give unto thee—when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me; and it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me. And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.

And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God?

And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.

Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?

And he answered, No.

Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things?

And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.

And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the Son of God?

And he said unto him, Yea.

And Zeezrom said again: Shall he save his people in their sins? And Amulek answered and said unto him: I say unto you he shall not, for it is impossible for him to deny his word.

Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the Son of God shall come, but he shall not save his people—as though he had authority to command God.

Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God because I said he shall not save his people in their sins.

And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.

Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?

And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last;

And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else.

Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death.

The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.

Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

Now, behold, I have spoken unto you concerning the death of the mortal body, and also concerning the resurrection of the mortal body. I say unto you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is from death, even from the first death unto life, that they can die no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; thus the whole becoming spiritual and immortal, that they can no more see corruption.

Now, when Amulek had finished these words the people began again to be astonished, and also Zeezrom began to tremble. And thus ended the words of Amulek, or this is all that I have written.

The law of Mosiah said that every man who was a judge of the law, and everyone appointed to be a judge, should receive wages for the time they spent judging those who were brought before them. If a man owed another man and wouldn't pay what he owed, he was reported to the judge. The judge used his authority and sent officers to bring the man before him, and he judged the man according to the law and the evidence brought against him. So the man was forced to pay what he owed, or be stripped of what he had, or be driven out from among the people as a thief and a robber.

The judge was paid for his time: a senine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold. This is what the law provided.

These are the names of the different pieces of their gold and silver, by their value. The Nephites gave the names themselves because they didn't count or measure the way the Jews at Jerusalem did. They changed their counting and measures from generation to generation, to fit the minds and circumstances of the people, until the reign of the judges, when king Mosiah established them.

Their counting went like this: a senine, a seon, a shum, and a limnah of gold. In silver: a senum, an amnor, an ezrom, and an onti. A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either one would buy a measure of barley, or a measure of any kind of grain.

A seon of gold was worth twice as much as a senine. And a shum of gold was worth twice as much as a seon. And a limnah of gold was worth all of them together.

An amnor of silver was worth two senums. And an ezrom of silver was worth four senums. And an onti was worth all of them together.

And here are the values of the smaller units in their counting: A shiblon is half a senum, so it will buy half a measure of barley. And a shiblum is half a shiblon. And a leah is half a shiblum.

This is how they numbered their money. And an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

Now, the judges' whole purpose was to get rich because they were paid according to how much work they had. So they stirred the people up to riots, disturbances, and every kind of wickedness, in order to have more work and take in more money from the suits brought before them. That is why they stirred the people up against Alma and Amulek.

Now this Zeezrom began questioning Amulek: "Will you answer me a few questions I'm going to ask you?" Zeezrom was an expert in the devil's tricks, so that he could destroy what was good. So he said to Amulek, "Will you answer the questions I put to you?"

Amulek said to him, "Yes, if it agrees with the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me, because I won't say anything that goes against the Spirit of the Lord." And Zeezrom said to him, "Here are six onties of silver, and I'll give you all of them if you'll deny the existence of a Supreme Being."

Amulek said, "You child of hell, why are you tempting me? Don't you know that the righteous give in to no such temptations? Do you believe there is no God? I say to you, No. You know there is a God, but you love that money more than you love him. And now you've lied to me before God. You told me, 'These six onties, which are worth a great deal, I will give to you,' when all along you meant to keep them from me. All you wanted was for me to deny the true and living God, so you would have a reason to destroy me. And now, for this great evil, you will get your reward."

And Zeezrom said to him, "You say there is a true and living God?"

And Amulek said, "Yes, there is a true and living God."

Then Zeezrom said, "Is there more than one God?"

And he answered, "No."

Then Zeezrom said to him again, "How do you know these things?"

And he said, "An angel made them known to me."

And Zeezrom said again, "Who is it that will come? Is it the Son of God?"

And he said to him, "Yes."

And Zeezrom said again, "Will he save his people in their sins?" And Amulek answered him, "I say to you, he won't, because it is impossible for him to deny his word."

Then Zeezrom said to the people, "Make sure you remember this: he said there is only one God, and yet he says the Son of God will come, but won't save his people, as if he had authority to command God."

Amulek said to him again, "You've lied: you say I spoke as if I had authority to command God, just because I said he won't save his people in their sins. And I say to you again that he cannot save them in their sins, for I cannot deny his word, and he has said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven. So how can you be saved unless you inherit the kingdom of heaven? You cannot be saved in your sins."

Then Zeezrom said to him again, "Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?"

And Amulek said to him, "Yes, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and earth, and of all things in them. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last. He will come into the world to redeem his people, and he will take on himself the transgressions of those who believe in his name. These are the ones who will have eternal life, and salvation comes to no one else. So the wicked remain as if no redemption had been made, except for the loosing of the bands of death. For the day is coming when all will rise from the dead, stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

"Now, there is a death that is called a temporal death, and the death of Christ will loose the bands of this temporal death, so that all will be raised from this temporal death. The spirit and the body will be reunited again in their perfect form. Both limb and joint will be restored to their proper frame, just as we are now at this time, and we will be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and having a bright recollection of all our guilt. Now, this restoration will come to all: old and young, slave and free, male and female, the wicked and the righteous. Not so much as a hair of their heads will be lost. Everything will be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and will be brought and arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they are good or evil.

"Now, I have spoken to you about the death of the mortal body, and also about the resurrection of the mortal body. I say to you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is, from death, from the first death to life, so that they can die no more. Their spirits unite with their bodies, never to be divided, so that the whole becomes spiritual and immortal, and they can no more see corruption."

After Amulek had finished speaking, the people were astonished again, and Zeezrom began trembling. And so ended the words of Amulek, or rather, this is all that I have written.

The judge was paid for his time: a senine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold. This is what the law provided.

Now these are the names of the different pieces of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value.

Now the reckoning is thus—a senine of gold, a seon of gold, a shum of gold, and a limnah of gold.

Their counting went like this: a senine, a seon, a shum, and a limnah of gold.

A senum of silver, an amnor of silver, an ezrom of silver, and an onti of silver.

In silver: a senum, an amnor, an ezrom, and an onti.

A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either for a measure of barley, and also for a measure of every kind of grain.

A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either one would buy a measure of barley, or a measure of any kind of grain.

Now the amount of a seon of gold was twice the value of a senine.

A seon of gold was worth twice as much as a senine.

And a shum of gold was twice the value of a seon.

And a shum of gold was worth twice as much as a seon.

And a limnah of gold was the value of them all.

And a limnah of gold was worth all of them together.

And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums.

An amnor of silver was worth two senums.

And an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums.

And an ezrom of silver was worth four senums.

And an onti was as great as them all.

And an onti was worth all of them together.

Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their reckoning—

And here are the values of the smaller units in their counting:

A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of barley.

A shiblon is half a senum, so it will buy half a measure of barley.

And a shiblum is a half of a shiblon.

And a shiblum is half a shiblon.

And a leah is the half of a shiblum.

And a leah is half a shiblum.

Now this is their number, according to their reckoning.

This is how they numbered their money.

Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

And an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

Now, it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ, therefore, they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ, that they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.

And Amulek said, "Yes, there is a true and living God."

Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?

Then Zeezrom said, "Is there more than one God?"

And he answered, No.

And he answered, "No."

Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things?

Then Zeezrom said to him again, "How do you know these things?"

And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.

And he said, "An angel made them known to me."

And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the Son of God?

And Zeezrom said again, "Who is it that will come? Is it the Son of God?"

And he said unto him, Yea.

And he said to him, "Yes."

And Zeezrom said again: Shall he save his people in their sins? And Amulek answered and said unto him: I say unto you he shall not, for it is impossible for him to deny his word.

And Zeezrom said again, "Will he save his people in their sins?" And Amulek answered him, "I say to you, he won't, because it is impossible for him to deny his word."

Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the Son of God shall come, but he shall not save his people—as though he had authority to command God.

Then Zeezrom said to the people, "Make sure you remember this: he said there is only one God, and yet he says the Son of God will come, but won't save his people, as if he had authority to command God."

Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God because I said he shall not save his people in their sins.

Amulek said to him again, "You've lied: you say I spoke as if I had authority to command God, just because I said he won't save his people in their sins.

And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.

And I say to you again that he cannot save them in their sins, for I cannot deny his word, and he has said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven. So how can you be saved unless you inherit the kingdom of heaven? You cannot be saved in your sins."

Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?

Then Zeezrom said to him again, "Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?"

And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last;

And Amulek said to him, "Yes, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and earth, and of all things in them. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else.

He will come into the world to redeem his people, and he will take on himself the transgressions of those who believe in his name. These are the ones who will have eternal life, and salvation comes to no one else.

Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

So the wicked remain as if no redemption had been made, except for the loosing of the bands of death. For the day is coming when all will rise from the dead, stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death.

"Now, there is a death that is called a temporal death, and the death of Christ will loose the bands of this temporal death, so that all will be raised from this temporal death.

The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.

The spirit and the body will be reunited again in their perfect form. Both limb and joint will be restored to their proper frame, just as we are now at this time, and we will be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and having a bright recollection of all our guilt.

Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

Now, this restoration will come to all: old and young, slave and free, male and female, the wicked and the righteous. Not so much as a hair of their heads will be lost. Everything will be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and will be brought and arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they are good or evil.

Now, behold, I have spoken unto you concerning the death of the mortal body, and also concerning the resurrection of the mortal body. I say unto you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is from death, even from the first death unto life, that they can die no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; thus the whole becoming spiritual and immortal, that they can no more see corruption.

"Now, I have spoken to you about the death of the mortal body, and also about the resurrection of the mortal body.

An amnor of silver was worth two senums. And an ezrom of silver was worth four senums. And an onti was worth all of them together.
Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their reckoning— A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of barley. And a shiblum is a half of a shiblon. And a leah is the half of a shiblum.
And here are the values of the smaller units in their counting: A shiblon is half a senum, so it will buy half a measure of barley. And a shiblum is half a shiblon. And a leah is half a shiblum.
Now this is their number, according to their reckoning. Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.
This is how they numbered their money. And an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.
Now, it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ, therefore, they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ, that they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.
Now, the judges' whole purpose was to get rich because they were paid according to how much work they had. So they stirred the people up to riots, disturbances, and every kind of wickedness, in order to have more work and take in more money from the suits brought before them. That is why they stirred the people up against Alma and Amulek.
And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which was good; therefore, he said unto Amulek: Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?
Now this Zeezrom began questioning Amulek: "Will you answer me a few questions I'm going to ask you?" Zeezrom was an expert in the devil's tricks, so that he could destroy what was good. So he said to Amulek, "Will you answer the questions I put to you?"
And Amulek said unto him: Yea, if it be according to the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me; for I shall say nothing which is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord. And Zeezrom said unto him: Behold, here are six onties of silver, and all these will I give thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a Supreme Being.
Amulek said to him, "Yes, if it agrees with the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me, because I won't say anything that goes against the Spirit of the Lord." And Zeezrom said to him, "Here are six onties of silver, and I'll give you all of them if you'll deny the existence of a Supreme Being."
Now Amulek said: O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me? Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations? Believest thou that there is no God? I say unto you, Nay, thou knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more than him. And now thou hast lied before God unto me. Thou saidst unto me—Behold these six onties, which are of great worth, I will give unto thee—when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me; and it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me. And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.
Amulek said, "You child of hell, why are you tempting me? Don't you know that the righteous give in to no such temptations? Do you believe there is no God? I say to you, No. You know there is a God, but you love that money more than you love him. And now you've lied to me before God. You told me, 'These six onties, which are worth a great deal, I will give to you,' when all along you meant to keep them from me. All you wanted was for me to deny the true and living God, so you would have a reason to destroy me. And now, for this great evil, you will get your reward."
And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God?
And Zeezrom said to him, "You say there is a true and living God?"
And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.
And Amulek said, "Yes, there is a true and living God."
Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?
Then Zeezrom said, "Is there more than one God?"
And he answered, No.
And he answered, "No."
Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things?
Then Zeezrom said to him again, "How do you know these things?"
And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.
And he said, "An angel made them known to me."
And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the Son of God?
And Zeezrom said again, "Who is it that will come? Is it the Son of God?"
And he said unto him, Yea.
And he said to him, "Yes."
And Zeezrom said again: Shall he save his people in their sins? And Amulek answered and said unto him: I say unto you he shall not, for it is impossible for him to deny his word.
And Zeezrom said again, "Will he save his people in their sins?" And Amulek answered him, "I say to you, he won't, because it is impossible for him to deny his word."
Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the Son of God shall come, but he shall not save his people—as though he had authority to command God.
Then Zeezrom said to the people, "Make sure you remember this: he said there is only one God, and yet he says the Son of God will come, but won't save his people, as if he had authority to command God."
Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God because I said he shall not save his people in their sins. And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.
Amulek said to him again, "You've lied: you say I spoke as if I had authority to command God, just because I said he won't save his people in their sins. And I say to you again that he cannot save them in their sins, for I cannot deny his word, and he has said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven. So how can you be saved unless you inherit the kingdom of heaven? You cannot be saved in your sins."
Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?
Then Zeezrom said to him again, "Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?"
And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last; And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else. Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.
And Amulek said to him, "Yes, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and earth, and of all things in them. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last. He will come into the world to redeem his people, and he will take on himself the transgressions of those who believe in his name. These are the ones who will have eternal life, and salvation comes to no one else. So the wicked remain as if no redemption had been made, except for the loosing of the bands of death. For the day is coming when all will rise from the dead, stand before God, and be judged according to their works.
Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death. The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt. Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.
"Now, there is a death that is called a temporal death, and the death of Christ will loose the bands of this temporal death, so that all will be raised from this temporal death. The spirit and the body will be reunited again in their perfect form. Both limb and joint will be restored to their proper frame, just as we are now at this time, and we will be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and having a bright recollection of all our guilt. Now, this restoration will come to all: old and young, slave and free, male and female, the wicked and the righteous. Not so much as a hair of their heads will be lost. Everything will be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and will be brought and arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they are good or evil.
Now, behold, I have spoken unto you concerning the death of the mortal body, and also concerning the resurrection of the mortal body. I say unto you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is from death, even from the first death unto life, that they can die no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; thus the whole becoming spiritual and immortal, that they can no more see corruption.
"Now, I have spoken to you about the death of the mortal body, and also about the resurrection of the mortal body. I say to you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is, from death, from the first death to life, so that they can die no more. Their spirits unite with their bodies, never to be divided, so that the whole becomes spiritual and immortal, and they can no more see corruption."
Now, when Amulek had finished these words the people began again to be astonished, and also Zeezrom began to tremble. And thus ended the words of Amulek, or this is all that I have written.
After Amulek had finished speaking, the people were astonished again, and Zeezrom began trembling. And so ended the words of Amulek, or rather, this is all that I have written.

Now it was in the law of Mosiah that every man who was a judge of the law, or those who were appointed to be judges, should receive wages according to the time which they labored to judge those who were brought before them to be judged.

The law of Mosiah said that every man who was a judge of the law, and everyone appointed to be a judge, should receive wages for the time they spent judging those who were brought before them.

Now if a man owed another, and he would not pay that which he did owe, he was complained of to the judge; and the judge executed authority, and sent forth officers that the man should be brought before him; and he judged the man according to the law and the evidences which were brought against him, and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he owed, or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people as a thief and a robber.

If a man owed another man and wouldn't pay what he owed, he was reported to the judge. The judge used his authority and sent officers to bring the man before him, and he judged the man according to the law and the evidence brought against him. So the man was forced to pay what he owed, or be stripped of what he had, or be driven out from among the people as a thief and a robber.

And the judge received for his wages according to his time—a senine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold; and this is according to the law which was given.

The judge was paid for his time: a senine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold. This is what the law provided.

Now these are the names of the different pieces of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value. And the names are given by the Nephites, for they did not reckon after the manner of the Jews who were at Jerusalem; neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews; but they altered their reckoning and their measure, according to the minds and the circumstances of the people, in every generation, until the reign of the judges, they having been established by king Mosiah.

These are the names of the different pieces of their gold and silver, by their value. The Nephites gave the names themselves because they didn't count or measure the way the Jews at Jerusalem did. They changed their counting and measures from generation to generation, to fit the minds and circumstances of the people, until the reign of the judges, when king Mosiah established them.

Now the reckoning is thus—a senine of gold, a seon of gold, a shum of gold, and a limnah of gold.

Their counting went like this: a senine, a seon, a shum, and a limnah of gold.

A senum of silver, an amnor of silver, an ezrom of silver, and an onti of silver.

In silver: a senum, an amnor, an ezrom, and an onti.

A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either for a measure of barley, and also for a measure of every kind of grain.

A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either one would buy a measure of barley, or a measure of any kind of grain.

Now the amount of a seon of gold was twice the value of a senine.

A seon of gold was worth twice as much as a senine.

And a shum of gold was twice the value of a seon.

And a shum of gold was worth twice as much as a seon.

And a limnah of gold was the value of them all.

And a limnah of gold was worth all of them together.

And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums.

An amnor of silver was worth two senums.

And an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums.

And an ezrom of silver was worth four senums.

And an onti was as great as them all.

And an onti was worth all of them together.

Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their reckoning—

And here are the values of the smaller units in their counting:

A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of barley.

A shiblon is half a senum, so it will buy half a measure of barley.

And a shiblum is a half of a shiblon.

And a shiblum is half a shiblon.

And a leah is the half of a shiblum.

And a leah is half a shiblum.

Now this is their number, according to their reckoning.

This is how they numbered their money.

Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

And an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

Now, it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ, therefore, they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ, that they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.

Now, the judges' whole purpose was to get rich because they were paid according to how much work they had. So they stirred the people up to riots, disturbances, and every kind of wickedness, in order to have more work and take in more money from the suits brought before them. That is why they stirred the people up against Alma and Amulek.

And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which was good; therefore, he said unto Amulek: Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?

Now this Zeezrom began questioning Amulek: "Will you answer me a few questions I'm going to ask you?" Zeezrom was an expert in the devil's tricks, so that he could destroy what was good. So he said to Amulek, "Will you answer the questions I put to you?"

And Amulek said unto him: Yea, if it be according to the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me; for I shall say nothing which is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord. And Zeezrom said unto him: Behold, here are six onties of silver, and all these will I give thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a Supreme Being.

Amulek said to him, "Yes, if it agrees with the Spirit of the Lord, which is in me, because I won't say anything that goes against the Spirit of the Lord." And Zeezrom said to him, "Here are six onties of silver, and I'll give you all of them if you'll deny the existence of a Supreme Being."

Now Amulek said: O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me? Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations?

Amulek said, "You child of hell, why are you tempting me? Don't you know that the righteous give in to no such temptations?

Believest thou that there is no God? I say unto you, Nay, thou knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more than him.

Do you believe there is no God? I say to you, No. You know there is a God, but you love that money more than you love him.

And now thou hast lied before God unto me. Thou saidst unto me—Behold these six onties, which are of great worth, I will give unto thee—when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me; and it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me. And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.

And now you've lied to me before God. You told me, 'These six onties, which are worth a great deal, I will give to you,' when all along you meant to keep them from me. All you wanted was for me to deny the true and living God, so you would have a reason to destroy me. And now, for this great evil, you will get your reward."

And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God?

And Zeezrom said to him, "You say there is a true and living God?"

And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.

And Amulek said, "Yes, there is a true and living God."

Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?

Then Zeezrom said, "Is there more than one God?"

And he answered, No.

And he answered, "No."

Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things?

Then Zeezrom said to him again, "How do you know these things?"

And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.

And he said, "An angel made them known to me."

And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the Son of God?

And Zeezrom said again, "Who is it that will come? Is it the Son of God?"

And he said unto him, Yea.

And he said to him, "Yes."

And Zeezrom said again: Shall he save his people in their sins? And Amulek answered and said unto him: I say unto you he shall not, for it is impossible for him to deny his word.

And Zeezrom said again, "Will he save his people in their sins?" And Amulek answered him, "I say to you, he won't, because it is impossible for him to deny his word."

Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the Son of God shall come, but he shall not save his people—as though he had authority to command God.

Then Zeezrom said to the people, "Make sure you remember this: he said there is only one God, and yet he says the Son of God will come, but won't save his people, as if he had authority to command God."

Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God because I said he shall not save his people in their sins.

Amulek said to him again, "You've lied: you say I spoke as if I had authority to command God, just because I said he won't save his people in their sins.

And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.

And I say to you again that he cannot save them in their sins, for I cannot deny his word, and he has said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven. So how can you be saved unless you inherit the kingdom of heaven? You cannot be saved in your sins."

Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?

Then Zeezrom said to him again, "Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?"

And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last;

And Amulek said to him, "Yes, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and earth, and of all things in them. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else.

He will come into the world to redeem his people, and he will take on himself the transgressions of those who believe in his name. These are the ones who will have eternal life, and salvation comes to no one else.

Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

So the wicked remain as if no redemption had been made, except for the loosing of the bands of death. For the day is coming when all will rise from the dead, stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death.

"Now, there is a death that is called a temporal death, and the death of Christ will loose the bands of this temporal death, so that all will be raised from this temporal death.

The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.

The spirit and the body will be reunited again in their perfect form. Both limb and joint will be restored to their proper frame, just as we are now at this time, and we will be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and having a bright recollection of all our guilt.

Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

Now, this restoration will come to all: old and young, slave and free, male and female, the wicked and the righteous. Not so much as a hair of their heads will be lost. Everything will be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and will be brought and arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they are good or evil.

Now, behold, I have spoken unto you concerning the death of the mortal body, and also concerning the resurrection of the mortal body. I say unto you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is from death, even from the first death unto life, that they can die no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; thus the whole becoming spiritual and immortal, that they can no more see corruption.

"Now, I have spoken to you about the death of the mortal body, and also about the resurrection of the mortal body. I say to you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is, from death, from the first death to life, so that they can die no more. Their spirits unite with their bodies, never to be divided, so that the whole becomes spiritual and immortal, and they can no more see corruption."

Now, when Amulek had finished these words the people began again to be astonished, and also Zeezrom began to tremble. And thus ended the words of Amulek, or this is all that I have written.

After Amulek had finished speaking, the people were astonished again, and Zeezrom began trembling. And so ended the words of Amulek, or rather, this is all that I have written.
