Alma 62:51 51 And they did pray unto the Lord their
God continually,
insomuch that the Lord did bless them, according to
his word, so
that they did wax strong and prosper in the land.
Alma 62:52 52 And it came to pass that all these
things were done. And
Helaman died, in the thirty and fifth year of the
reign of the
judges over the people of Nephi.
Alma 63
Chapter 63
Alma 63:1 1 And it came to pass in the commencement
of the thirty and
sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people
of Nephi,
that Shiblon took possession of those sacred things
which had
been delivered unto Helaman by Alma.
Alma 63:2 2 And he was a just man, and he did walk
uprightly before God;
and he did observe to do good continually, to keep
the
commandments of the Lord his God; and also did his
brother.
Alma 63:3 3 And it came to pass that Moroni died
also. And thus ended the
thirty and sixth year of the reign of the judges.
Alma 63:4 4 And it came to pass that in the thirty and seventh year of the reign of the judges, there was a large company of men, even to the amount of five thousand and four hundred men, with their wives and their children, departed out of the land of Zarahemla into the land which was northward.
Alma 63:5 5 And it came to pass that Hagoth, he
being an exceedingly
curious man, therefore he went forth and built him
an exceedingly
large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful,
by the land
Desolation, and launched it forth into the west sea,
by the
narrow neck which led into the land northward.
Alma 63:6 6 And behold, there were many of the Nephites
who did enter
therein and did sail forth with much provisions, and
also many
women and children; and they took their course northward.
And
thus ended the thirty and seventh year.
Alma 63:7 7 And in the thirty and eighth year, this man built other ships.
And the first ship did also return, and many more people did enter into it; and they also took much provisions, and set out again to the land northward.
Alma 63:8 8 And it came to pass that they were never
heard of more. And
we suppose that they were drowned in the depths of
the sea. And
it came to pass that one other ship also did sail
forth; and
whither she did go we know not.
Alma 63:9 9 And it came to pass that in this year
there were many people
who went forth into the land northward. And
thus ended the
thirty and eighth year.
Alma 63:10 10 And it came to pass in the thirty
and ninth year of the reign
of the judges, Shiblon died also, and Corianton had
gone forth to
the land northward in a ship, to carry forth provisions
unto the
people who had gone forth into that land.
Alma 63:11 11 Therefore it became expedient for
Shiblon to confer those
sacred things, before his death, upon the son of Helaman,
who was
called Helaman, being called after the name of his
father.
