Alma 45:21

For behold, because of their wars with the Lamanites

and the many little dissensions and disturbances

which had been among the people,

it became expedient that the word of God should be declared among them,

yea, and that a regulation should be made throughout the church.

Alma 46:24

Yea, let us preserve our liberty as a remnant of Joseph;

yea, let us remember the words of Jacob, before his death,

for behold, he saw that a part of the remnant of the coat of Joseph

was preserved and had not decayed.

And he said —

Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved,

so shall a remnant of the seed of my son

be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself,

while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish,

even as the remnant of his garment.
