without money and without price.

they began to be exceedingly rich,

having abundance of all things whatsoever they stood in need —

the Nephites who were not slain by the weapons of war,

after having buried those who had been slain

after they had finished burying their dead

they all returned to their lands,

and to their houses, and their wives, and their children.

according to the mark which was set upon their fathers,

which was a curse upon them

because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren,

who were just and holy men.
