AlmaChapter35

v1.10

Now it came to pass that after Amulek had made an end of these words, they withdrew themselves from the multitude and came over into the land of Jershon.

Yea, and the rest of the brethren, after they had preached the word unto the Zoramites, also came over into the land of Jershon.

And it came to pass that after the more popular part of the Zoramites had consulted together concerning the words which had been preached unto them, they were angry because of the word, for it did destroy their craft; therefore they would not hearken unto the words.

And they sent and gathered together throughout all the land all the people, and consulted with them concerning the words which had been spoken.

Now their rulers and their priests and their teachers did not let the people know concerning their desires; therefore they found out privily the minds of all the people.

And it came to pass that after they had found out the minds of all the people, those who were in favor of the words which had been spoken by Alma and his brethren were cast out of the land; and they were many; and they came over also into the land of Jershon.

And it came to pass that Alma and his brethren did minister unto them.

Now the people of the Zoramites were angry with the people of Ammon who were in Jershon, and the chief ruler of the Zoramites, being a very wicked man, sent over unto the people of Ammon desiring them that they should cast out of their land all those who came over from them into their land.

And he breathed out many threatenings against them. And now the people of Ammon did not fear their words; therefore they did not cast them out, but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came over unto them; and they did nourish them, and did clothe them, and did give unto them lands for their inheritance; and they did administer unto them according to their wants.

Now this did stir up the Zoramites to anger against the people of Ammon, and they began to mix with the Lamanites and to stir them up also to anger against them.

And thus the Zoramites and the Lamanites began to make preparations for war against the people of Ammon, and also against the Nephites.

And thus ended the seventeenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

And the people of Ammon departed out of the land of Jershon, and came over into the land of Melek, and gave place in the land of Jershon for the armies of the Nephites, that they might contend with the armies of the Lamanites and the armies of the Zoramites; and thus commenced a war betwixt the Lamanites and the Nephites, in the eighteenth year of the reign of the judges; and an account shall be given of their wars hereafter.

And Alma, and Ammon, and their brethren, and also the two sons of Alma returned to the land of Zarahemla, after having been instruments in the hands of God of bringing many of the Zoramites to repentance; and as many as were brought to repentance were driven out of their land; but they have lands for their inheritance in the land of Jershon, and they have taken up arms to defend themselves, and their wives, and children, and their lands.

Now Alma, being grieved for the iniquity of his people, yea for the wars, and the bloodsheds, and the contentions which were among them; and having been to declare the word, or sent to declare the word, among all the people in every city; and seeing that the hearts of the people began to wax hard, and that they began to be offended because of the strictness of the word, his heart was exceedingly sorrowful.

Therefore, he caused that his sons should be gathered together, that he might give unto them every one his charge, separately, concerning the things pertaining unto righteousness. And we have an account of his commandments, which he gave unto them according to his own record.

After Amulek had finished speaking, he and Alma withdrew from the crowd and went over into the land of Jershon. The rest of the brothers, after they had preached the word to the Zoramites, came over there too.

After the more popular among the Zoramites had talked together about the words that had been preached to them, they were angry because that word was destroying their trade. So they wouldn't listen to it. They sent word throughout the whole land, gathered all the people together, and talked with them about what had been said. Their rulers, priests, and teachers didn't let the people know what they wanted. So they secretly found out what everyone was thinking.

After they had found this out, everyone who was in favor of what Alma and his brothers had preached was driven out of the land. There were many of them, and they too came over into the land of Jershon. And Alma and his brothers ministered to them.

The Zoramites were angry with the people of Ammon in Jershon, and the Zoramite chief ruler, a very wicked man, sent word to the people of Ammon demanding that they drive out of their land everyone who had come over from his people. He made many threats against them. But the people of Ammon weren't afraid of his words, so they didn't drive them out. Instead they welcomed all the poor Zoramites who came over to them, fed them, clothed them, gave them lands of their own, and took care of whatever they needed.

This made the Zoramites angry with the people of Ammon, and they began mixing with the Lamanites and stirring them up to be angry too. So the Zoramites and the Lamanites began preparing for war against the people of Ammon and the Nephites.

And so ended the seventeenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

The people of Ammon left the land of Jershon, making room there for the armies of the Nephites to fight the armies of the Lamanites and the Zoramites, and went over into the land of Melek. And so a war began between the Lamanites and the Nephites in the eighteenth year of the reign of the judges. An account of their wars will be given later.

Alma, Ammon, their brothers, and Alma's two sons returned to the land of Zarahemla after being instruments in the hands of God to bring many of the Zoramites to repentance. Everyone who was brought to repentance was driven out of their land, but they have lands of their own in the land of Jershon, and they have taken up arms to defend themselves, their wives, children, and lands.

Alma was grieved over the wickedness of his people: the wars, the bloodshed, and the quarreling among them. He had gone, or rather been sent, to declare the word to all the people in every city, and he saw that the people's hearts were growing hard and that they were taking offense at the strictness of the word. His heart was very sad. So he had his sons gathered together, to give each one of them his own charge, separately, about the things that have to do with righteousness. And we have an account of the commandments he gave them, according to his own record.
