Omni 1:13 13 And it came to pass that he did according as the Lord had commanded him. And they departed out of the land into the wilderness, as many as would hearken unto the voice of the Lord; and they were led by many preachings and prophesyings. And they were admonished continually by the word of God; and they were led by the power of his arm, through the wilderness, until they came down into the land which is called the land of Zarahemla.
Omni 1:14 14 And they discovered a people, who were
called the people of
Zarahemla. Now, there was great rejoicing among
the people of
Zarahemla; and also Zarahemla did rejoice exceedingly,
because
the Lord had sent the people of Mosiah with the plates
of brass
which contained the record of the Jews.
Omni 1:15 15 Behold, it came to pass that Mosiah
discovered that the
people of Zarahemla came out from Jerusalem at the
time that
Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive
into Babylon.
Omni 1:16 16 And they journeyed in the wilderness,
and were brought by the
hand of the Lord across the great waters, into the
land where
Mosiah discovered them; and they had dwelt there from
that time
forth.
Omni 1:17 17 And at the time that Mosiah discovered them, they had become exceedingly numerous. Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions, and had fallen by the sword from time to time; and their language had become corrupted; and they had brought no records with them; and they denied the being of their Creator; and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them.
Omni 1:18 18 But it came to pass that Mosiah caused that they should be taught in his language. And it came to pass that after they were taught in the language of Mosiah, Zarahemla gave a genealogy of his fathers, according to his memory; and they are written, but not in these plates.
Omni 1:19 19 And it came to pass that the people
of Zarahemla, and of
Mosiah, did unite together; and Mosiah was appointed
to be their
king.
Omni 1:20 20 And it came to pass in the days of
Mosiah, there was a large
stone brought unto him with engravings on it; and
he did
interpret the engravings by the gift and power of
God.
Omni 1:21 21 And they gave an account of one Coriantumr,
and the slain of
his people. And Coriantumr was discovered by
the people of
Zarahemla; and he dwelt with them for the space of
nine moons.
Omni 1:22 22 It also spake a few words concerning
his fathers. And his
first parents came out from the tower, at the time
the Lord
confounded the language of the people; and the severity
of the
Lord fell upon them according to his judgments, which
are just;
and their bones lay scattered in the land northward.
Omni 1:23 23 Behold, I, Amaleki, was born in the
days of Mosiah; and I
have lived to see his death; and Benjamin, his son,
reigneth in
his stead.
