Alma 30:27

And thus ye lead away this people after the foolish traditions of your fathers,

and according to your own desires;

and ye keep them down, even as it were in bondage,

that ye may glut yourselves with the labors of their hands,

that they durst not look up with boldness,

and that they durst not enjoy their rights and privileges.

yea, when they saw that he would revile even against God,

they would not make any reply to his words;

and sent him to the land of Zarahemla,

that he might be brought before Alma, and the chief judge

who was governor over all the land.

Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this people;

to declare the word of God unto my people.

And they came unto Alma;

and the one who was the foremost among them said unto him:

Behold, what shall these my brethren do,

for they are despised of all men because of their poverty,

yea, and more especially by our priests;

for they have cast us out of our synagogues

which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands;

and they have cast us out because of our exceeding poverty;

and we have no place to worship our God; and behold, what shall we do?

Alma 35:14

And Alma, and Ammon, and their brethren, and also the two sons of Alma

returned to the land of Zarahemla,

after having been instruments in the hands of God

of bringing many of the Zoramites to repentance;

and as many as were brought to repentance were driven out of their land;

but they have lands for their inheritance in the land of Jershon,

and they have taken up arms to defend themselves,

and their wives, and children, and their lands.
