and came over into the land of Jershon.

Yea, and the rest of the brethren,

after they had preached the word unto the Zoramites,

also came over into the land of Jershon.


Alma 35:3

And it came to pass that

after the more popular part of the Zoramites had consulted together

concerning the words which had been preached unto them,

they were angry because of the word,

for it did destroy their craft; therefore they would not hearken unto the words.


Alma 35:4

And they sent and gathered together throughout all the land all the people,

and consulted with them concerning the words which had been spoken.


Alma 35:5

Now their rulers and their priests and their teachers

did not let the people know concerning their desires;

therefore they found out privily the minds of all the people.


Alma 35:6

And it came to pass that after they had found out the minds of all the people,

those who were in favor of the words

which had been spoken by Alma and his brethren

were cast out of the land; and they were many;

and they came over also into the land of Jershon.


Alma 35:7

And it came to pass that Alma and his brethren did minister unto them.


Alma 35:8

Now the people of the Zoramites were angry

with the people of Ammon who were in Jershon,

and the chief ruler of the Zoramites, being a very wicked man,

sent over unto the people of Ammon

desiring them that they should cast out of their land

all those who came over from them into their land.


Alma 35:9

And he breathed out many threatenings against them.

And now the people of Ammon did not fear their words;

therefore they did not cast them out,

but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came over unto them;

and they did nourish them, and did clothe them,

and did give unto them lands for their inheritance;

and they did administer unto them according to their wants.
