3 Nephi 4:7

And it came to pass that they did come up to battle;

and it was in the sixth month;

and behold, great and terrible was the day that they did come up to battle;

and they were girded about after the manner of robbers;

and they had a lamb-skin about their loins,

and they were dyed in blood,

and their heads were shorn,

and they had head-plates upon them;

and great and terrible was the appearance of the armies of Giddianhi,

because of their armor, and because of their being dyed in blood.

3 Nephi 4:9

And it came to pass that when the armies of Giddianhi saw this

they began to shout with a loud voice, because of their joy,

for they had supposed that the Nephites had fallen with fear

because of the terror of their armies.

3 Nephi 4:10

But in this thing they were disappointed,

for the Nephites did not fear them;

but they did fear their God and did supplicate him for protection;

therefore, when the armies of Giddianhi did rush upon them

they were prepared to meet them;

yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them.
