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,

that the Lamanites should have any more strength;

that he might obtain his purposes.

Alma 46:40

And there were some who died with fevers,

which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land —

because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots

to which men were subject by the nature of the climate —

their lands, their wives, and their children, and their peace,

and that they might live unto the Lord their God,

and that they might maintain

that which was called by their enemies the cause of Christians.
