Mosiah 8:1, 8, 11, 13, 14

Mosiah 7:1

And now, it came to pass that

after king Mosiah had had continual peace for the space of three years,

he was desirous to know concerning the people

who went up to dwell in the land of Lehi-Nephi, or in the city of Lehi-Nephi;

for his people had heard nothing from them

from the time they left the land of Zarahemla;

therefore, they wearied him with their teasings.

And now, they knew not the course they should travel in the wilderness

to go up to the land of Lehi-Nephi;

therefore they wandered many days in the wilderness,

even forty days did they wander.

Mosiah 7:7

who were in the land of Nephi, and in the land of Shilom;

and they were surrounded by the king's guard,

and were taken, and were bound, and were committed to prison.

Mosiah 7:8

And it came to pass when they had been in prison two days

they were again brought before the king,

and their bands were loosed;

and were permitted, or rather commanded,

that they should answer the questions which he should ask them.

And now, it came to pass that

after Limhi had heard the words of Ammon,

that my brethren who were in the land of Zarahemla are yet alive.

And now, I will rejoice;

and on the morrow I will cause that my people shall rejoice also.

Mosiah 7:15

For behold, we are in bondage to the Lamanites,

and are taxed with a tax which is grievous to be borne.

And now, behold, our brethren will deliver us out of our bondage,

or out of the hands of the Lamanites,

and we will be their slaves;

for it is better that we be slaves to the Nephites

than to pay tribute to the king of the Lamanites.

Mosiah 7:18

And it came to pass that when they had gathered themselves together

that he spake unto them in this wise, saying:

O ye, my people, lift up your heads and be comforted;

for behold, the time is at hand, or is not far distant,

when we shall no longer be in subjection to our enemies,

notwithstanding our many strugglings, which have been in vain;

yet I trust there remaineth an effectual struggle to be made.

Mosiah 7:19

Therefore, lift up your heads, and rejoice, and put your trust in God,

in that God who was the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob;

and also, that God who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,

and caused that they should walk through the Red Sea on dry ground,

and fed them with manna that they might not perish in the wilderness;

and many more things did he do for them.

Mosiah 7:24

Yea, I say unto you,

great are the reasons which we have to mourn;

for behold how many of our brethren have been slain,

and their blood has been spilt in vain,

and all because of iniquity.

Mosiah 7:27

And because he said unto them that Christ was the God, the Father of all things,

and said that he should take upon him the image of man,

and it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning;

or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God,

and that God should come down among the children of men,

and take upon him flesh and blood,

and go forth upon the face of the earth—

Mosiah 7:28

And now, because he said this, they did put him to death;

and many more things did they do

which brought down the wrath of God upon them.

Therefore, who wondereth that they are in bondage,

and that they are smitten with sore afflictions?

Mosiah 7:29

For behold, the Lord hath said:

I will not succor my people in the day of their transgression;

but I will hedge up their ways that they prosper not;

and their doings shall be as a stumbling block before them.

If my people shall sow filthiness

they shall reap the chaff thereof in the whirlwind;

and the effect thereof is poison.

But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart,

and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind,

if ye do this,

he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.

Mosiah 8:1

And it came to pass that

after king Limhi had made an end of speaking to his people,

for he spake many things unto them

and only a few of them have I written in this book,

he told his people all the things concerning their brethren

who were in the land of Zarahemla.

Mosiah 8:8

And they were lost in the wilderness for the space of many days,

yet they were diligent, and found not the land of Zarahemla

but returned to this land,

having traveled in a land among many waters,

having discovered a land which was covered with bones of men, and of beasts,

and was also covered with ruins of buildings of every kind,

having discovered a land which had been peopled with a people

who were as numerous as the hosts of Israel.

Mosiah 8:11

And again, they have brought swords,

the hilts thereof have perished,

and the blades thereof were cankered with rust;

and there is no one in the land that is able to interpret the language

or the engravings that are on the plates.

Therefore I said unto thee:

Canst thou translate?

Mosiah 8:13

Now Ammon said unto him:

I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can translate the records;

for he has wherewith that he can look,

and translate all records that are of ancient date;

and it is a gift from God.

And the things are called interpreters,

and no man can look in them except he be commanded,

lest he should look for that he ought not and he should perish.

And whosoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called seer.

Mosiah 8:14

And behold, the king of the people who are in the land of Zarahemla

is the man that is commanded to do these things,

and who has this high gift from God.
