by the hand of his father Alma.

while others were abasing themselves,

who should come according to the spirit of prophecy;

and gave him power according to the voice of the people,

that he might have power to enact laws

according to the laws which had been given,

and to put them in force according to the wickedness and the crimes of the people.
