contextual study / concordance



Mosiah 10:1

And it came to pass that we again began to establish the kingdom

and we again began to possess the land in peace.

And I caused that there should be weapons of war made of every kind,

that thereby I might have weapons for my people

against the time the Lamanites should come up again to war against my people.


Mosiah 10:2

And I set guards round about the land,

that the Lamanites might not come upon us again unawares and destroy us;

and thus I did guard my people and my flocks,

and keep them from falling into the hands of our enemies.


Mosiah 10:3

And it came to pass that we did inherit the land of our fathers for many years,

yea, for the space of twenty and two years.


Mosiah 10:4

And I did cause that the men should till the ground,

and raise all manner of grain and all manner of fruit of every kind.


Mosiah 10:5

And I did cause that the women should spin, and toil,

and work, and work all manner of fine linen,

yea, and cloth of every kind,

that we might clothe our nakedness;

and thus we did prosper in the land —

thus we did have continual peace in the land

for the space of twenty and two years.
