And it came to pass that he rent his coat;

In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace,

our wives, and our children —

and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.

Alma 46:13

And he fastened on his head-plate, and his breastplate, and his shields,

and girded on his armor about his loins;

and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat,

(and he called it the title of liberty)

and he bowed himself to the earth,

and he prayed mightily unto his God

for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren,

so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land —

Alma 46:23

Moroni said unto them:

Behold, we are a remnant of the seed of Jacob;

yea, we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph,

whose coat was rent by his brethren into many pieces;

yea, and now behold, let us remember to keep the commandments of God,

or our garments shall be rent by our brethren,

and we be cast into prison, or be sold, or be slain.

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.
