Alma 46:21, 24,

Alma 47:23

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 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.

Alma 47:23

And it came to pass that the king put forth his hand to raise them,

as was the custom with the Lamanites, as a token of peace,

which custom they had taken from the Nephites.
