24:23 And now the Lord said unto Alma: Haste thee and get thou and this
people out of this land, for the Lamanites have awakened and do pursue
thee; therefore get thee out of this land, and I will stop the
Lamanites in this valley that they come no further in pursuit of this
people.
24:24 And it came to pass that they departed out of the valley, and
took their journey into the wilderness.
24:25 And after they had been in the wilderness twelve days they
arrived in the land of Zarahemla; and king Mosiah did also receive them
with joy.
Mosiah Chapter 25
25:1 And now king Mosiah caused that all the people should be gathered
together.
25:2 Now there were not so many of the children of Nephi, or so many of
those who were descendants of Nephi, as there were of the people of
Zarahemla, who was a descendant of Mulek, and those who came with him
into the wilderness.
25:3 And there were not so many of the people of Nephi and of the
people of Zarahemla as there were of the Lamanites; yea, they were not
half so numerous.
25:4 And now all the people of Nephi were assembled together, and also
all the people of Zarahemla, and they were gathered together in two
bodies.
25:5 And it came to pass that Mosiah did read, and caused to be read,
the records of Zeniff to his people; yea, he read the records of the
people of Zeniff, from the time they left the land of Zarahemla until
they returned again.
25:6 And he also read the account of Alma and his brethren, and all
their afflictions, from the time they left the land of Zarahemla until
the time they returned again.
25:7 And now, when Mosiah had made an end of reading the records, his
people who tarried in the land were struck with wonder and amazement.
25:8 For they knew not what to think; for when they beheld those that
had been delivered out of bondage they were filled with exceedingly
great joy.
25:9 And again, when they thought of their brethren who had been slain
by the Lamanites they were filled with sorrow, and even shed many tears
of sorrow.
25:10 And again, when they thought of the immediate goodness of God,
and his power in delivering Alma and his brethren out of the hands of
the Lamanites and of bondage, they did raise their voices and give
thanks to God.
25:11 And again, when they thought upon the Lamanites, who were their
brethren, of their sinful and polluted state, they were filled with
pain and anguish for the welfare of their souls.
25:12 And it came to pass that those who were the children of Amulon
and his brethren, who had taken to wife the daughters of the Lamanites,
were displeased with the conduct of their fathers, and they would no
longer be called by the names of their fathers, therefore they took
upon themselves the name of Nephi, that they might be called the
children of Nephi and be numbered among those who were called Nephites.
