yea, even in the preservation of the lives of this people.

which is in the tenth year of the reign of the judges.

for he has fasted many days because of the sins of this people,

and he is an hungered,

and thou shalt receive him into thy house and feed him,

and he shall bless thee and thy house;

and the blessing of the Lord shall rest upon thee and thy house.

according to the words which he spake.

when he was about to deliver up the kingdom,

that is, if the time should come that this people should fall into transgression,

they would be ripe for destruction.

Alma 11:4

Now these are the names of the different pieces

of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value.

And the names are given by the Nephites,

neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews;

but they altered their reckoning and their measure,

according to the minds and the circumstances of the people,

in every generation, until the reign of the judges,

they having been established by king Mosiah.

Thou saidst unto me —

Behold these six onties, which are of great worth,

I will give unto thee —

that thou mightest have cause to destroy me.

And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.

Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.
