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 7:33

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 8:19

And now, when Ammon had made an end of speaking these words

the king rejoiced exceedingly, and gave thanks to God, saying:

Doubtless a great mystery is contained within these plates,

and these interpreters were doubtless prepared

for the purpose of unfolding all such mysteries to the children of men.
