Now it came to pass that after the sons of Mosiah had done all these things,

they took a small number with them and returned to their father, the king,

and convince them of the iniquity of their fathers;

and that there should be no more contentions

in all the land which the Lord their God had given them.

suffering much and fearing that they should be cast off forever.

from the time that they were destroyed

back to the building of the great tower,

at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people

and they were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth,

yea, and even from that time back until the creation of Adam.
