Mosiah 24:24 24 And it came to pass that they departed
out of the valley, and
took their journey into the wilderness.
Mosiah 24:25 25 And after they had been in the wilderness
twelve days they
arrived in the land of Zarahemla; and king Mosiah
did also
receive them with joy.
Mosiah 25
Chapter 25
Mosiah 25:1 1 And now king Mosiah caused that all
the people should be
gathered together.
Mosiah 25:2 2 Now there were not so many of the
children of Nephi, or so
many of those who were descendants of Nephi, as there
were of the
people of Zarahemla, who was a descendant of Mulek,
and those who
came with him into the wilderness.
Mosiah 25:3 3 And there were not so many of the
people of Nephi and of the
people of Zarahemla as there were of the Lamanites;
yea, they
were not half so numerous.
Mosiah 25:4 4 And now all the people of Nephi were
assembled together, and
also all the people of Zarahemla, and they were gathered
together
in two bodies.
Mosiah 25:5 5 And it came to pass that Mosiah did
read, and caused to be
read, the records of Zeniff to his people; yea, he
read the
records of the people of Zeniff, from the time they
left the land
of Zarahemla until they returned again.
Mosiah 25:6 6 And he also read the account of Alma
and his brethren, and all
their afflictions, from the time they left the land
of Zarahemla
until the time they returned again.
Mosiah 25:7 7 And now, when Mosiah had made an end
of reading the records,
his people who tarried in the land were struck with
wonder and
amazement.
Mosiah 25:8 8 For they knew not what to think; for
when they beheld those
that had been delivered out of bondage they were filled
with
exceedingly great joy.
Mosiah 25:9 9 And again, when they thought of their
brethren who had been
slain by the Lamanites they were filled with sorrow,
and even
shed many tears of sorrow.
Mosiah 25:10 10 And again, when they thought of
the immediate goodness of
God, and his power in delivering Alma and his brethren
out of the
hands of the Lamanites and of bondage, they did raise
their
voices and give thanks to God.
Mosiah 25:11 11 And again, when they thought upon
the Lamanites, who were
their brethren, of their sinful and polluted state,
they were
filled with pain and anguish for the welfare of their
souls.
Mosiah 25:12 12 And it came to pass that those who were the children of Amulon and his brethren, who had taken to wife the daughters of the Lamanites, were displeased with the conduct of their fathers, and they would no longer be called by the names of their fathers, therefore they took upon themselves the name of Nephi, that they might be called the children of Nephi and be numbered among those who were called Nephites.
Mosiah 25:13 13 And now all the people of Zarahemla
were numbered with the
Nephites, and this because the kingdom had been conferred
upon
none but those who were descendants of Nephi.
