and has not as yet swept them off from the face of the land.

and the laws of the land were exceedingly strict.

And we multiplied exceedingly, and spread upon the face of the land,

and became exceedingly rich in gold, and in silver, and in precious things,

and in fine workmanship of wood, in buildings, and in machinery,

and also in iron and copper, and brass and steel,

making all manner of tools of every kind to till the ground,

and weapons of war —

yea, the sharp pointed arrow, and the quiver, and the dart, and the javelin,

and all preparations for war.

Jarom 1:11

Wherefore, the prophets, and the priests, and the teachers, did labor diligently,

exhorting with all long-suffering the people to diligence;

teaching the law of Moses, and the intent for which it was given;

persuading them to look forward unto the Messiah,

and believe in him to come as though he already was.

And after this manner did they teach them.
