Alma 37:38, 43, 44

Alma 37:38

And now, my son, I have somewhat to say

concerning the thing which our fathers call a ball, or director —

or our fathers called it Liahona,

which is, being interpreted, a compass;

and the Lord prepared it.

Alma 37:43

And now, my son, I would that ye should understand

that these things are not without a shadow;

for as our fathers were slothful to give heed to this compass

(now these things were temporal)

they did not prosper;

even so it is with things which are spiritual.

Alma 37:44

For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ,

which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss,

as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass,

which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.
