9:34 And it came to pass that Amulek went and stood forth, and began to
preach unto them also. And now the words of Amulek are not all written,
nevertheless a part of his words are written in this book.
Alma Chapter 10
10:1 Now these are the words which Amulek preached unto the people who
were in the land of Ammonihah, saying:
10:2 I am Amulek; I am the son of Giddonah, who was the son of Ishmael,
who was a descendant of Aminadi; and it was the same Aminadi who
interpreted the writing which was upon the wall of the temple, which
was written by the finger of God.
10:3 And Aminadi was a descendant of Nephi, who was the son of Lehi,
who came out of the land of Jerusalem, who was a descendant of
Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by the
hands of his brethren.
10:4 And behold, I am also a man of no small reputation among all those
who know me; yea, and behold, I have many kindreds and friends, and I
have also acquired much riches by the hand of my industry.
10:5 Nevertheless, after all this, I never have known much of the ways
of the Lord, and his mysteries and marvelous power. I said I never had
known much of these things; but behold, I mistake, for I have seen much
of his mysteries and his marvelous power; yea, even in the preservation
of the lives of this people.
10:6 Nevertheless, I did harden my heart, for I was called many times
and I would not hear; therefore I knew concerning these things, yet I
would not know; therefore I went on rebelling against God, in the
wickedness of my heart, even until the fourth day of this seventh
month, which is in the tenth year of the reign of the judges.
10:7 As I was journeying to see a very near kindred, behold an angel of
the Lord appeared unto me and said: Amulek, return to thine own house,
for thou shalt feed a prophet of the Lord; yea, a holy man, who is a
chosen man of God; for he has fasted many days because of the sins of
this people, and he is an hungered, and thou shalt receive him into thy
house and feed him, and he shall bless thee and thy house; and the
blessing of the Lord shall rest upon thee and thy house.
10:8 And it came to pass that I obeyed the voice of the angel, and
returned towards my house. And as I was going thither I found the man
whom the angel said unto me: Thou shalt receive into thy house—and
behold it was this same man who has been speaking unto you concerning
the things of God.
10:9 And the angel said unto me he is a holy man; wherefore I know he
is a holy man because it was said by an angel of God.
10:10 And again, I know that the things whereof he hath testified are
true; for behold I say unto you, that as the Lord liveth, even so has
he sent his angel to make these things manifest unto me; and this he
has done while this Alma hath dwelt at my house.
