Alma 36:2

I would that ye should do as I have done,

in remembering the captivity of our fathers;

for they were in bondage, and none could deliver them

except it was the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

and he surely did deliver them in their afflictions.

Alma 36:5

Now, behold, I say unto you,

if I had not been born of God I should not have known these things;

but God has, by the mouth of his holy angel, made these things known unto me,

not of any worthiness of myself;

Alma 36:11

And the angel spake more things unto me,

which were heard by my brethren,

but I did not hear them;

for when I heard the words —

If thou wilt be destroyed of thyself,

seek no more to destroy the church of God —

I was struck with such great fear and amazement

lest perhaps I should be destroyed,

that I fell to the earth and I did hear no more.

Alma 37:4

Behold, it has been prophesied by our fathers,

that they should be kept and handed down from one generation to another,

and be kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord

until they should go forth unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people,

that they shall know of the mysteries contained thereon.

Alma 37:8

And now, it has hitherto been wisdom in God

that these things should be preserved;

for behold, they have enlarged the memory of this people,

yea, and convinced many of the error of their ways,

and brought them to the knowledge of their God

unto the salvation of their souls.

Alma 37:22

For behold, the Lord saw that his people began to work in darkness,

yea, work secret murders and abominations;

therefore the Lord said,

if they did not repent

they should be destroyed from off the face of the earth.

Alma 37:27

And now, my son, I command you

that ye retain all their oaths, and their covenants,

and their agreements in their secret abominations;

yea, and all their signs and their wonders ye shall keep from this people,

that they know them not,

lest peradventure they should fall into darkness also and be destroyed.

Alma 37:39

And behold, there cannot any man work

after the manner of so curious a workmanship.

And behold, it was prepared to show unto our fathers

the course which they should travel in the wilderness.

Alma 37:40

And it did work for them according to their faith in God;

therefore, if they had faith to believe

that God could cause that those spindles should point the way they should go,

behold, it was done;

therefore they had this miracle,

and also many other miracles

wrought by the power of God, day by day.

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.
