Helaman 6
Chapter 6
Helaman 6:1 1 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 and the Lamanites had become, the more part of them, a righteous people, insomuch that their righteousness did exceed that of the Nephites because of their firmness and their steadiness in the faith.
Helaman 6:2 2 For behold, there were many of the
Nephites 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.
Helaman 6:3 3 Nevertheless, the people of the church did have great joy 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 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.
Helaman 6:5 5 Yea, and many did preach with exceedingly
great power and
authority, unto the bringing down many of them into
the depths of
humility, to be the humble followers of God and the
Lamb.
Helaman 6:6 6 And it came to pass that many of the
Lamanites did go into the
land northward; and also Nephi and Lehi went into
the land
northward, to preach unto the people. And thus
ended the sixty
and third year.
Helaman 6:7 7 And behold, there was peace in all
the land, insomuch that the
Nephites did go into whatsoever part of the land they
would,
whether among the Nephites or the Lamanites.
Helaman 6:8 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 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 10 Now the land south was called Lehi
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 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 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.
