Alma 45:13

And when that great day cometh,

behold, the time very soon cometh

that those who are now,

or the seed of those who are now numbered among the people of Nephi,

shall no more be numbered among the people of Nephi.

Alma 45:19

Behold, this we know, that he was a righteous man;

and the saying went abroad in the church

that he was taken up by the Spirit,

or buried by the hand of the Lord, even as Moses.

But behold, the scriptures saith the Lord took Moses unto himself;

and we suppose that he has also received Alma in the spirit, unto himself;

therefore, for this cause we know nothing concerning his death and burial.

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 47:26

Behold, the servants of the king have stabbed him to the heart,

and he has fallen and they have fled;

behold, come and see.

Alma 48:17

Yea, verily, verily I say unto you,

if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni,

behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever;

yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

Alma 49:2

And behold, the city had been rebuilt,

and Moroni had stationed an army by the borders of the city,

and they had cast up dirt round about

to shield them from the arrows and the stones of the Lamanites;

for behold, they fought with stones and with arrows.

Alma 49:4

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them,

which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast

their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect,

neither could they come upon them

save it was by their place of entrance.

Alma 49:18

Now behold, the Lamanites could not get into their forts of security

by any other way save by the entrance,

because of the highness of the bank which had been thrown up,

and the depth of the ditch which had been dug round about,

save it were by the entrance.
