by the hand of his father Alma.

Alma 4:15

And now it came to pass that

Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God,

and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people,

and seeing all their inequality,

began to be very sorrowful;

nevertheless the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.

Alma 4:19

And this he did that he himself might go forth among his people,

or among the people of Nephi,

that he might preach the word of God unto them,

to stir them up in remembrance of their duty,

and that he might pull down, by the word of God,

all the pride and craftiness and all the contentions which were among his people,

seeing no way that he might reclaim them

save it were in bearing down in pure testimony against them.
