Now these sons of Mosiah were with Alma

at the time the angel first appeared unto him;

therefore Alma did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren;

and what added more to his joy,

they were still his brethren in the Lord;

yea, and they had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth;

for they were men of a sound understanding

and they had searched the scriptures diligently,

that they might know the word of God.

And they had been teaching the word of God

for the space of fourteen years among the Lamanites,

to call on his name and confess their sins before him.

And assuredly it was great,

for they had undertaken to preach the word of God

to a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people;

a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites,

and robbing and plundering them;

and their hearts were set upon riches,

or upon gold and silver, and precious stones;

yet they sought to obtain these things by murdering and plundering,

that they might not labor for them with their own hands.

Now Ammon being the chief among them,

or rather he did administer unto them,

and he departed from them,

after having blessed them according to their several stations,

having imparted the word of God unto them,

or administered unto them before his departure;

and thus they took their several journeys throughout the land.
