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 46:22

Now this was the covenant which they made,

and they cast their garments at the feet of Moroni, saying:

We covenant with our God, that we shall be destroyed,

even as our brethren in the land northward,

if we shall fall into transgression;

yea, he may cast us at the feet of our enemies,

even as we have cast our garments at thy feet

to be trodden under foot, if we shall fall into transgression.

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.

Alma 49:6

Now the leaders of the Lamanites had supposed,

because of the greatness of their numbers,

yea, they supposed that they should be privileged

to come upon them as they had hitherto done;

yea, and they had also prepared themselves with shields, and with breastplates;

and they had also prepared themselves with garments of skins,

yea, very thick garments to cover their nakedness.
