Alma 23:1

Behold, now it came to pass that

the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation among all his people,

that they should not lay their hands on Ammon, or Aaron, or Omner, or Himni,

nor either of their brethren who should go forth preaching the word of God,

in whatsoever place they should be, in any part of their land.

Alma 23:2

Yea, he sent a decree among them,

that they should not lay their hands on them

to bind them, or to cast them into prison;

neither should they spit upon them, nor smite them,

nor cast them out of their synagogues, nor scourge them;

neither should they cast stones at them,

but that they should have free access to their houses,

and also their temples, and their sanctuaries.

Alma 24:14

And the great God has had mercy on us,

and made these things known unto us that we might not perish;

yea, and he has made these things known unto us beforehand,

because he loveth our souls as well as he loveth our children;

therefore, in his mercy he doth visit us by his angels,

that the plan of salvation might be made known unto us

as well as unto future generations.

Alma 24:21

Now when the people saw that they were coming against them

they went out to meet them, and prostrated themselves before them to the earth,

and began to call on the name of the Lord;

and thus they were in this attitude

when the Lamanites began to fall upon them,

and began to slay them with the sword.

Alma 26:35

Now have we not reason to rejoice?

Yea, I say unto you,

there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we,

since the world began;

yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God;

for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding;

he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being,

even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.
