Alma 46:21,

Alma 48:8

Alma 46:21

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

with their armor girded about their loins,

rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,

that they would not forsake the Lord their God;

or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God,

or fall into transgression,

and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ,

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Alma 48:8

Yea, he had been strengthening the armies of the Nephites,

and erecting small forts, or places of resort;

throwing up banks of earth round about to enclose his armies,

and also building walls of stone to encircle them about,

round about their cities and the borders of their lands;

yea, all round about the land.
