Mosiah 7:7

And behold, they met the king of the people

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

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

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 7:22

And all this he did, for the sole purpose

of bringing this people into subjection or into bondage.

And behold, we at this time do pay tribute to the king of the Lamanites,

to the amount of one half of our corn, and our barley,

and even all our grain of every kind,

and one half of the increase of our flocks and our herds;

and even one half of all we have or possess

the king of the Lamanites doth exact of us, or our lives.

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.
