were Lamanites and Nephites who were dissenters.



Helaman 5:30

And it came to pass when they heard this voice,

and beheld that it was not a voice of thunder,

as if it had been a whisper,

and it did pierce even to the very soul—



Helaman 5:31

behold the earth shook exceedingly,

and the walls of the prison trembled again,

as if it were about to tumble to the earth;

and behold the cloud of darkness, which had overshadowed them, did not disperse —

and the walls did tremble again,

and the earth shook as if it were about to divide asunder.

and behold, he saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi;

to some being whom they beheld.

to cry unto the voice of him who had shaken the earth;

And it came to pass that when the sixty and second year

of the reign of the judges had ended,

all these things had happened

because of their firmness and their steadiness in the faith.



Helaman 6:2

who had become hardened and impenitent and grossly wicked,

insomuch that they did reject the word of God

and all the preaching and prophesying which did come among them.

because of the conversion of the Lamanites,

yea, because of the church of God, which had been established among them.

And they did fellowship one with another,

and did rejoice one with another,

and did have great joy.



Helaman 6:4

And it came to pass that

many of the Lamanites did come down into the land of Zarahemla,

and did declare unto the people of the Nephites the manner of their conversion,

and did exhort them to faith and repentance.

insomuch that the Nephites did go into whatsoever part of the land they would,

whether among the Nephites or the Lamanites.



Helaman 6:8

And it came to pass that the Lamanites did also go whithersoever they would,

whether it were among the Lamanites or among the Nephites;

and thus they did have free intercourse one with another,

to buy and to sell, and to get gain, according to their desire.



Helaman 6:9

And it came to pass that they became exceedingly rich,

both the Lamanites and the Nephites;

and they did have an exceeding plenty of gold, and of silver,

and of all manner of precious metals,

both in the land south and in the land north.



Helaman 6:10

and the land north was called Mulek,

which was after the son of Zedekiah;

for the Lord did bring Mulek into the land north,

and Lehi into the land south.



Helaman 6:11

And behold, there was all manner of gold in both these lands,

and of silver, and of precious ore of every kind;

and there were also curious workmen,

who did work all kinds of ore and did refine it;

and thus they did become rich.



Helaman 6:12

They did raise grain in abundance, both in the north and in the south;

and they did flourish exceedingly, both in the north and in the south.

And they did multiply and wax exceedingly strong in the land.

And they did raise many flocks and herds, yea, many fatlings.



Helaman 6:13

Behold their women did toil and spin,

and did make all manner of cloth,

of fine-twined linen and cloth of every kind,

to clothe their nakedness.

And thus the sixty and fourth year did pass away in peace.



Helaman 6:14

yea, much preaching and many prophecies concerning that which was to come.

And thus passed away the sixty and fifth year.



Helaman 6:19

And it was they who did murder the chief judge Cezoram, and his son,

while in the judgment–seat;

and behold, they were not found.



Helaman 6:20

And now it came to pass that

when the Lamanites found that there were robbers among them

they were exceedingly sorrowful;

and they did use every means in their power

to destroy them off the face of the earth.



Helaman 6:21

But behold, Satan did stir up the hearts of the more part of the Nephites,

insomuch that they did unite with those bands of robbers,

and did enter into their covenants and their oaths,

that they would protect and preserve one another

in whatsoever difficult circumstances they should be placed,

that they should not suffer for their murders,

and their plunderings, and their stealings.



Helaman 6:22

And it came to pass that they did have their signs,

yea, their secret signs, and their secret words;

and this that they might distinguish a brother

who had entered into the covenant,

that whatsoever wickedness his brother should do

he should not be injured by his brother,

nor by those who did belong to his band,

who had taken this covenant.



Helaman 6:26

Now behold, those secret oaths and covenants did not come forth unto Gadianton

from the records which were delivered unto Helaman;

but behold, they were put into the heart of Gadianton

by that same being who did entice our first parents

to partake of the forbidden fruit—



Helaman 6:27

Yea, that same being who did plot with Cain,

that if he would murder his brother Abel

it should not be known unto the world.

And he did plot with Cain and his followers from that time forth.



Helaman 6:31

And now behold, he had got great hold upon the hearts of the Nephites;

yea, insomuch that they had become exceedingly wicked;

yea, the more part of them had turned out of the way of righteousness,

and did trample under their feet the commandments of God,

and did turn unto their own ways,

and did build up unto themselves idols of their gold and their silver.



Helaman 6:32

And it came to pass that all these iniquities did come unto them

in the space of not many years,

insomuch that a more part of it had come unto them

in the sixty and seventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.



Helaman 6:33

And they did grow in their iniquities in the sixty and eighth year also,

to the great sorrow and lamentation of the righteous.



Helaman 6:34

And thus we see that the Nephites did begin to dwindle in unbelief,

and grow in wickedness and abominations,

while the Lamanites began to grow exceedingly in the knowledge of their God;

yea, they did begin to keep his statutes and commandments,

and to walk in truth and uprightness before him.



Helaman 6:37

And it came to pass that the Lamanites did hunt the band of robbers of Gadianton;

and they did preach the word of God among the more wicked part of them,

insomuch that this band of robbers was utterly destroyed from among the Lamanites.



Helaman 6:38

And it came to pass on the other hand,

that the Nephites did build them up and support them,

beginning at the more wicked part of them,

until they had overspread all the land of the Nephites,

and had seduced the more part of the righteous

until they had come down to believe in their works

and partake of their spoils,

and to join with them in their secret murders and combinations.



Helaman 6:39

And thus they did obtain the sole management of the government,

insomuch that they did trample under their feet and smite and rend

and turn their backs upon the poor and the meek, and the humble followers of God.
