4
¶ But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
6
And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
8
And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
14
And when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
• • •
21
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, tobe rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
• • •
23
If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
5
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above allpeople: for all the earth is mine:
• • •
8
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
• • •
11
And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
• • •
16
¶ And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were
thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice
of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
18
¶ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
27
I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
3
¶ And Moses came and told the peopleall the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do.
8
And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, thatall the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
• • •
10
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
• • •
16
For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
10
¶ And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
23
And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people.
24
And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
3
Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
• • •
6
And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons,
Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest
wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled.
33
And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make
an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar,
and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
11
And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore
hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour
in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12
Have I conceived all this people?
have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in
thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land
which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
32
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched
unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have
gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
26
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the peoplewere in ignorance.
23
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
• • •
33
¶ And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34
And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
1
Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
2
And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
3
So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
6
For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above allpeople that are upon the face of the earth.
7
The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of allpeople:
• • •
14
Thou shalt be blessed above allpeople: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
• • •
16
And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
• • •
19
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the
wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
7
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
• • •
13
And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
11
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, thatall the peoplethat is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
15
Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
16
Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
17
Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.
18
Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
19
Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
20
Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
21
Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
22
Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
23
Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
24
Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.
25
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
26
Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
10
And allpeople of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.
• • •
64
And the Lord shall scatter thee among allpeople,
from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt
serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
2
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
17
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
1
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
• • •
11
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the Lord passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
• • •
24
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.
4
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, evenall the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5
Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the peoplethat were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the peoplethat were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord sware that he would not shew them the land, which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
• • •
8
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
5
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
3
And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
1
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
• • •
3
¶ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.
• • •
5
And I, and all the people that are
with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when
they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before
them,
• • •
11
And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
• • •
14
¶ And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
• • •
16
And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
2
And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
• • •
17
For the Lord our God, he it is
that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the
house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and
preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
18
And the Lord drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the Lord; for he is our God.
• • •
27
And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
13
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
1
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were
with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that
the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill
of Moreh, in the valley.
34
¶ And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
• • •
44
And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon allthepeople that were in the fields, and slew them.
• • •
48
And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I havedone.
49
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
20
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21
And the Lord God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
3
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people,
that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And
Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
30
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
2
And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
• • •
8
¶ And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
• • •
16
Among all this peoplethere were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
• • •
26
¶ Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the Lord, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
9
¶ And Boaz said unto the elders, and untoall the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.
• • •
11
And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, Weare witnesses. The Lord
make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah,
which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in
Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
24
And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
25
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
4
¶ Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
• • •
15
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
18
So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19
And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
7
And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
15
And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
• • •
20
And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
• • •
34
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
• • •
39
For, as the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the peoplethat answered him.
5
¶ And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
6
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
31
¶ And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
32
And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
• • •
34
Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.
35
And when all the people
came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware,
saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else,
till the sun be down.
36
And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
37
For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
2
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
• • •
19
And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
29
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
• • •
31
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
17
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
• • •
23
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
24
¶ And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
• • •
30
¶ And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
6
And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
• • •
14
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15
¶ And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
2
And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
3
And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: soall the people shall be in peace.
• • •
16
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night
in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king
be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
• • •
22
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
4
And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
5
And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
2
And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
• • •
8
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
9
¶ And all the people were at strife throughout all
the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our
enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now
he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
• • •
39
And all the people
went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed
Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
40
Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
12
And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people
stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and
cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood
still.
13
When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
• • •
15
And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up
a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
• • •
22
Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it
out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city,
every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
39
And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
40
And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
38
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
• • •
43
Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that allpeople of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
• • •
53
For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
• • •
60
That all the people of the earth may know that the Lordis God, and that there is none else.
7
Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and
this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my
sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among allpeople:
• • •
20
Andall the peoplethat were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
21
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lordbe God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
• • •
24
And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
• • •
30
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lordthat was broken down.
• • •
39
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.
8
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not untohim, nor consent.
• • •
10
And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more
also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
• • •
15
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they
were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, evenall the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
9
And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
• • •
18
¶ And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
14
And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
• • •
18
And all the people
of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars
and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the
priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers
over the house of the Lord.
19
And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.
15
And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar
burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the
king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering
of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.
2
And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.
3
¶ And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with alltheir heart and alltheir soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
• • •
21
¶ And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
3
And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
21
And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the peoplewill be wholly at thy commandment.
29
Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
• • •
33
Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that allpeople of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
4
¶ Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
5
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
7
¶ Asforall the peoplethat were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
5
And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the peopleshall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
6
But let none come into the house of the Lord, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord.
• • •
10
And he set all the people,
every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the
temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the
temple, by the king round about.
• • •
13
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people
of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with
instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah
rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
• • •
16
¶ And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the Lord’s people.
17
Then all the people
went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and
his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the
altars.
• • •
20
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the Lord: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21
And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
13
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
30
And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.
13
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
23
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
3
Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
11
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.
25
And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.
9
¶ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
1
Andall the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel.
• • •
3
And he read therein before the street that was before the water
gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and
those that could understand; and the ears of all the peoplewere attentive unto the book of the law.
• • •
5
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
6
And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground.
• • •
9
¶ And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
• • •
11
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
12
And all the people
went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make
great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared
unto them.
13
¶ And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
10
And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
• • •
32
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all
the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our
kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on
our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
5
And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people
that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small,
seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace;
• • •
16
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
8
¶ And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from allpeople; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
• • •
14
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto allpeople, that they should be ready against that day.
13
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto allpeople, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
2
The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all
the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought
their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell
upon allpeople.
16
There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
6
¶ And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto allpeople a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over allpeople, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
7
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my
house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for allpeople.
14
Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord’s house; and said to all the people,
1
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
2
The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
• • •
19
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
7
So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
8
¶ Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
• • •
11
Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12
¶ Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
• • •
16
¶ Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
• • •
18
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
16
Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord’s house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
1
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
• • •
5
¶ Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,
• • •
7
Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
• • •
11
And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
1
Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the
prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were
carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
• • •
16
Know that thus saith the Lord of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
• • •
25
Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
1
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
• • •
8
¶ This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
• • •
10
Now when all the princes, and all the people,
which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let
his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should
serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
• • •
19
The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
9
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
10
Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the Lord’s house, in the ears of all the people.
1
Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of
Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah,
heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
• • •
4
Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man
be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that
remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
10
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people
that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had
committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the
Ammonites.
• • •
13
Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
14
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
1
Thenall the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
• • •
8
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
1
And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the peopleall the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, evenall these words,
• • •
4
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah.
15
¶ Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
• • •
20
¶ Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
• • •
24
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
11
All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider; for I am become vile.
• • •
18
¶ The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, allpeople, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
12
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
7
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
19
And for the majesty that he gave him, allpeople,
nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would
he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up;
and whom he would he put down.
14
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that allpeople, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
6
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in
thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
5
¶ Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him allpeople:
20
At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among allpeople of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.
4
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and work: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts:
5
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
2
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3
¶ And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for allpeople: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
• • •
6
¶ In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire
among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall
devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
12
¶ And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people
that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away
while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in
their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
24
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people
that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were
possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that
had the palsy; and he healed them.
18
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
47
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
13
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no
more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat
for all this people.
19
And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning
Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before
God and all the people:
9
And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
• • •
11
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
10
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
34
Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
27
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
19
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people
according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with
water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
13
And as for those who are at Jerusalem, saith the prophet, they shall be scourged by allpeople,
because they crucify the God of Israel, and turn their hearts aside,
rejecting signs and wonders, and the power and glory of the God of
Israel.
• • •
16
Yea, then will he remember the isles of the sea; yea, and all the people
who are of the house of Israel, will I gather in, saith the Lord,
according to the words of the prophet Zenos, from the four quarters of
the earth.
13
And out of weakness he shall be made strong, in that day when my work shall commence among all my people, unto the restoring thee, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
1
And now there was no more contention in all the land of Zarahemla, among all the people who belonged to king Benjamin, so that king Benjamin had continual peace all the remainder of his days.
• • •
10
Therefore, he had Mosiah brought before him; and these are
the words which he spake unto him, saying: My son, I would that ye
should make a proclamation throughout all this land among all this people, or the people of Zarahemla, and the people of Mosiah who dwell in the land, that thereby they may be gathered together; for on the morrow I shall proclaim unto this my people out of mine own mouth that thou art a king and a ruler over this people, whom the Lord our God hath given us.
11
And moreover, I shall give this people a name, that thereby they may be distinguished above all the people which the Lord God hath brought out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I do because they have been a diligent people in keeping the commandments of the Lord.
• • •
18
And now, it came to pass that Mosiah went and did as his father had commanded him, and proclaimed unto all the people
who were in the land of Zarahemla that thereby they might gather
themselves together, to go up to the temple to hear the words which his
father should speak unto them.
7
And king Mosiah did cause his people that they should till the earth. And he also, himself, did till the earth, that thereby he might not become burdensome to his people, that he might do according to that which his father had done in all things. And there was no contention among all his people for the space of three years.
17
And now, it came to pass on the morrow that king Limhi sent a proclamation among all his people, that thereby they might gather themselves together to the temple, to hear the words which he should speak unto them.
1
And now it came to pass that Ammon and king Limhi began to consult with the people how they should deliver themselves out of bondage; and even they did cause that all the people should gather themselves together; and this they did that they might have the voice of the people concerning the matter.
• • •
6
Behold the back pass, through the back wall, on the back side of the
city. The Lamanites, or the guards of the Lamanites, by night are
drunken; therefore let us send a proclamation among all this people that they gather together their flocks and herds, that they may drive them into the wilderness by night.
4
And he appointed teachers of the brethren of Amulon in every land which was possessed by his people; and thus the language of Nephi began to be taught among all the people of the Lamanites.
1
And now king Mosiah caused that all the people should be gathered together.
• • •
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.
• • •
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.
• • •
17
And it came to pass that after Alma had taught the people many things, and had made an end of speaking to them, that king Limhi was desirous that he might be baptized; and all his people were desirous that they might be baptized also.
32
And now it came to pass that Alma began from this time forward to teach the people, and those who were with Alma at the time the angel appeared unto them, traveling round about through all the land, publishing to all the people
the things which they had heard and seen, and preaching the word of God
in much tribulation, being greatly persecuted by those who were
unbelievers, being smitten by many of them.
• • •
35
And they traveled throughout all the land of Zarahemla, and among all the people who were under the reign of king Mosiah, zealously striving to repair all the injuries which they had done to the church, confessing all their sins, and publishing all the things which they had seen, and explaining the prophecies and the scriptures to all who desired to hear them.
1
Now when Mosiah had done this he sent out throughout all the land, among all the people, desiring to know their will concerning who should be their king.
• • •
34
And he told them that these things ought not to be; but that the burden should come upon all the people, that every man might bear his part.
• • •
44
And thus commenced the reign of the judges throughout all the land of Zarahemla, among all the people who were called the Nephites; and Alma was the first and chief judge.
24
And behold, I have been called to preach the word of God among all this people,
according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy; and I was in this
land and they would not receive me, but they cast me out and I was about
to set my back towards this land forever.
19
For he will not suffer you that ye shall live in your iniquities, to destroy his people. I say unto you, Nay; he would rather suffer that the Lamanites might destroy all his people who are called the people
of Nephi, if it were possible that they could fall into sins and
transgressions, after having had so much light and so much knowledge
given unto them of the Lord their God;
22
Yea, and the voice of the Lord, by the mouth of angels, doth declare it unto all nations; yea, doth declare it, that they may have glad tidings of great joy; yea, and he doth sound these glad tidings among all his people, yea, even to them that are scattered abroad upon the face of the earth; wherefore they have come unto us.
5
And the people went forth and witnessed
against them—testifying that they had reviled against the law, and their
lawyers and judges of the land, and also of all the people that were in the land; and also testified that there was but one God, and that he should send his Son among the people, but he should not save them; and many such things did the people testify against Alma and Amulek. Now this was done before the chief judge of the land.
1
And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek were commanded to depart
out of that city; and they departed, and came out even into the land of
Sidom; and behold, there they found all the people who had departed out of the land of Ammonihah, who had been cast out and stoned, because they believed in the words of Alma.
• • •
11
And when Alma had said these words, Zeezrom leaped upon his feet, and
began to walk; and this was done to the great astonishment of all the people; and the knowledge of this went forth throughout all the land of Sidom.
15
And thus did Alma and Amulek go forth, and also many more who had been chosen for the work, to preach the word throughout all the land. And the establishment of the church became general throughout the land, in all the region round about, among all the people of the Nephites.
10
And Ammon said unto her: Blessed art thou because of thy exceeding
faith; I say unto thee, woman, there has not been such great faith among
all the people of the Nephites.
• • •
14
Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out according to his
prayers upon the Lamanites, his brethren, who had been the cause of so
much mourning among the Nephites, or among all the people
of God because of their iniquities and their traditions, he fell upon
his knees, and began to pour out his soul in prayer and thanksgiving to
God for what he had done for his brethren; and he was also overpowered
with joy; and thus they all three had sunk to the earth.
• • •
36
And thus the work of the Lord did commence among the Lamanites; thus the
Lord did begin to pour out his Spirit upon them; and we see that his
arm is extended to allpeople who will repent and believe on his name.
27
And it came to pass that the king sent a proclamation throughout all the land, amongst all his people who were in all his land, who were in all
the regions round about, which was bordering even to the sea, on the
east and on the west, and which was divided from the land of Zarahemla
by a narrow strip of wilderness, which ran from the sea east even to the
sea west, and round about on the borders of the seashore, and the
borders of the wilderness which was on the north by the land of
Zarahemla, through the borders of Manti, by the head of the river Sidon,
running from the east towards the west—and thus were the Lamanites and
the Nephites divided.
1
Behold, now it came to pass that the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation among all his people,
that they should not lay their hands on Ammon, or Aaron, or Omner, or
Himni, nor either of their brethren who should go forth preaching the
word of God, in whatsoever place they should be, in any part of their
land.
6
Now there was not one soul among all the people
who had been converted unto the Lord that would take up arms against
their brethren; nay, they would not even make any preparations for war;
yea, and also their king commanded them that they should not.
• • •
17
And now it came to pass that when the king had made an end of these sayings, and all the people were assembled together, they took their swords, and all the weapons which were used for the shedding of man’s blood, and they did bury them up deep in the earth.
14
And they gathered together all their people, yea, all the people of the Lord, and did gather together all
their flocks and herds, and departed out of the land, and came into the
wilderness which divided the land of Nephi from the land of Zarahemla,
and came over near the borders of the land.
2
And thus there was a tremendous battle; yea, even such an one as never had been known among all the people in the land from the time Lehi left Jerusalem; yea, and tens of thousands of the Lamanites were slain and scattered abroad.
• • •
4
And now this was a time that there was a great mourning and lamentation heard throughout all the land, among all the people of Nephi—
57
Now the knowledge of what had happened unto Korihor was immediately published throughout all the land; yea, the proclamation was sent forth by the chief judge to all the people
in the land, declaring unto those who had believed in the words of
Korihor that they must speedily repent, lest the same judgments would
come unto them.
4
And they sent and gathered together throughout all the land all the people, and consulted with them concerning the words which had been spoken.
5
Now their rulers and their priests and their teachers did not let the people know concerning their desires; therefore they found out privily the minds of all the people.
6
And it came to pass that after they had found out the minds of all the people,
those who were in favor of the words which had been spoken by Alma and
his brethren were cast out of the land; and they were many; and they
came over also into the land of Jershon.
• • •
15
Now Alma, being grieved for the iniquity of his people,
yea for the wars, and the bloodsheds, and the contentions which were
among them; and having been to declare the word, or sent to declare the
word, among all the people in every city; and seeing that the hearts of the people
began to wax hard, and that they began to be offended because of the
strictness of the word, his heart was exceedingly sorrowful.
26
And he caused that all the people
in that quarter of the land should gather themselves together to battle
against the Lamanites, to defend their lands and their country, their
rights and their liberties; therefore they were prepared against the
time of the coming of the Lamanites.
28
And now it came to pass that when Moroni had said these words he went forth, and also sent forth in all the parts of the land where there were dissensions, and gathered together all the people
who were desirous to maintain their liberty, to stand against
Amalickiah and those who had dissented, who were called Amalickiahites.
1
Now we will return in our record to Amalickiah and those who had
fled with him into the wilderness; for, behold, he had taken those who
went with him, and went up in the land of Nephi among the Lamanites, and
did stir up the Lamanites to anger against the people of Nephi, insomuch that the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation throughout all his land, among all his people, that they should gather themselves together again to go to battle against the Nephites.
• • •
35
And it came to pass that Amalickiah sought the favor of the queen, and
took her unto him to wife; and thus by his fraud, and by the assistance
of his cunning servants, he obtained the kingdom; yea, he was
acknowledged king throughout all the land, among all the people of the Lamanites, who were composed of the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites, and all the dissenters of the Nephites, from the reign of Nephi down to the present time.
2
And thus he did inspire their hearts against the Nephites, insomuch that in the latter
end of the nineteenth year of the reign of the judges, he having
accomplished his designs thus far, yea, having been made king over the
Lamanites, he sought also to reign over all the land, yea, and all the people who were in the land, the Nephites as well as the Lamanites.
2
And Moroni went to the city of Mulek with Lehi, and took command of the
city and gave it unto Lehi. Now behold, this Lehi was a man who had
been with Moroni in the more part of all his
battles; and he was a man like unto Moroni, and they rejoiced in each
other’s safety; yea, they were beloved by each other, and also beloved
by all the people of Nephi.
14
And they did remember his words; and therefore they went forth, keeping the commandments of God, to teach the word of God among all the people of Nephi, beginning at the city Bountiful;
• • •
16
And even from one city to another, until they had gone forth among all the people of Nephi who were in the land southward; and from thence into the land of Zarahemla, among the Lamanites.
5
Therefore they did cry unto the people, saying: Why do you suffer this man to revile against us? For behold he doth condemn all this people, even unto destruction; yea, and also that these our great cities shall be taken from us, that we shall have no place in them.
17
And it came to pass that thus he did go forth in the Spirit, from
multitude to multitude, declaring the word of God, even until he had
declared it unto them all, or sent it forth among all the people.
1
And now it came to pass in the seventy and second year of the reign of the judges that the contentions did increase, insomuch that there were wars throughout all the land among all the people of Nephi.
• • •
5
And so it was done, according to the words of Nephi. And there was a great famine upon the land, among all the people of Nephi. And thus in the seventy and fourth year the famine did continue, and the work of destruction did cease by the sword but became sore by famine.
17
And they began to know that the Son of God must shortly appear; yea, in fine, all the people
upon the face of the whole earth from the west to the east, both in the
land north and in the land south, were so exceedingly astonished that
they fell to the earth.
11
And it came to pass in the thirteenth year there began to be wars and contentions throughout all the land; for the Gadianton robbers had become so numerous, and did slay so many of the people, and did lay waste so many cities, and did spread so much death and carnage throughout the land, that it became expedient that all the people, both the Nephites and the Lamanites, should take up arms against them.
13
Yea, he sent a proclamation among all the people, that they should gather together their women, and their children, their flocks and their herds, and all their substance, save it were their land, unto one place.
• • •
16
And so great and marvelous were the words and prophecies of Lachoneus that they did cause fear to come upon all the people; and they did exert themselves in their might to do according to the words of Lachoneus.
11
And the battle commenced in this the sixth month; and great and terrible
was the battle thereof, yea, great and terrible was the slaughter
thereof, insomuch that there never was known so great a slaughter among all the people of Lehi since he left Jerusalem.
1
And now behold, there was not a living soul among all the people of the Nephites who did doubt in the least the words of all the holy prophets who had spoken; for they knew that it must needs be that they must be fulfilled.
23
And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days that
there was no light seen; and there was great mourning and howling and
weeping among all the people continually; yea, great were the groanings of the people, because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them.
1
And now behold, it came to pass that all the people
of the land did hear these sayings, and did witness of it. And after
these sayings there was silence in the land for the space of many hours;
• • •
3
And it came to pass that there came a voice again unto the people, and all the people did hear, and did witness of it, saying:
5
And then will I gather them in from the four quarters of the earth; and
then will I fulfil the covenant which the Father hath made unto all the people of the house of Israel.
• • •
10
And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day
when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the
fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their
hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all
those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith
the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.
4
And even unto the great and last day, when allpeople, and all kindreds, and all nations and tongues shall stand before God, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil—
18
But this much I know, according to the record which hath been given—they
did go forth upon the face of the land, and did minister unto all the people,
uniting as many to the church as would believe in their preaching;
baptizing them, and as many as were baptized did receive the Holy Ghost.
• • •
23
And it came to pass that thus they did go forth among all the people of Nephi, and did preach the gospel of Christ unto allpeople upon the face of the land; and they were converted unto the Lord, and were united unto the church of Christ, and thus the people of that generation were blessed, according to the word of Jesus.
• • •
31
Therefore, great and marvelous works shall be wrought by them, before the great and coming day when allpeople must surely stand before the judgment-seat of Christ;
13
And it came to pass that there was no contention among all the people, in all the land; but there were mighty miracles wrought among the disciples of Jesus.
• • •
16
And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor
lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness; and surely there
could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God.
6
And it came to pass that when we had gathered in all our people in one to the land of Cumorah, behold I, Mormon, began to be old; and knowing it to be the last struggle of my people,
and having been commanded of the Lord that I should not suffer the
records which had been handed down by our fathers, which were sacred, to
fall into the hands of the Lamanites, (for the Lamanites would destroy
them) therefore I made this record out of the plates of Nephi, and hid
up in the hill Cumorah all the records which
had been entrusted to me by the hand of the Lord, save it were these few
plates which I gave unto my son Moroni.
• • •
11
And when they had gone through and hewn down all my people save it were twenty and four of us, (among whom was my son Moroni) and we having survived the dead of our people,
did behold on the morrow, when the Lamanites had returned unto their
camps, from the top of the hill Cumorah, the ten thousand of my people who were hewn down, being led in the front by me.
• • •
15
And it came to pass that there were ten more who did fall by the sword, with their ten thousand each; yea, even all my people,
save it were those twenty and four who were with me, and also a few who
had escaped into the south countries, and a few who had deserted over
unto the Lamanites, had fallen; and their flesh, and bones, and blood
lay upon the face of the earth, being left by the hands of those who
slew them to molder upon the land, and to crumble and to return to their
mother earth.
16
And then shall my revelations which I have caused to be written by my servant John be unfolded in the eyes of all the people. Remember, when ye see these things, ye shall know that the time is at hand that they shall be made manifest in very deed.
20
And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and
combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had
among allpeople, and they are had among the Lamanites.
• • •
25
For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of allpeople, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all
lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even
that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning;
who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the
prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
6
For so great had been the spreading of this wicked and secret society that it had corrupted the hearts of all the people; therefore Jared was murdered upon his throne, and Akish reigned in his stead.
• • •
12
And there began to be a war between the sons of Akish and Akish, which
lasted for the space of many years, yea, unto the destruction of nearly all the people of the kingdom, yea, even all, save it were thirty souls, and they who fled with the house of Omer.
23
And I said unto him: Lord, the Gentiles will mock at these things,
because of our weakness in writing; for Lord thou hast made us mighty in
word by faith, but thou hast not made us mighty in writing; for thou
hast made all this people that they could speak much, because of the Holy Ghost which thou hast given them;
31
And Shared wounded Coriantumr in his thigh, that he did not go to battle again for the space of two years, in which time all the people upon the face of the land were shedding blood, and there was none to restrain them.
10
And it came to pass that one of the secret combinations murdered him in a
secret pass, and obtained unto himself the kingdom; and his name was
Lib; and Lib was a man of great stature, more than any other man among all the people.
• • •
15
And it came to pass that Lib did pursue him until he came to the plains of Agosh. And Coriantumr had taken all the people with him as he fled before Lib in that quarter of the land whither he fled.
7
And it shall come to pass that there shall be a great work in the land,
even among the Gentiles, for their folly and their abominations shall be
made manifest in the eyes of allpeople.
39
And if ye seek the riches which it is the will of the Father to give unto you, ye shall be the richest of allpeople,
for ye shall have the riches of eternity; and it must needs be that the
riches of the earth are mine to give; but beware of pride, lest ye
become as the Nephites of old.
1
Behold, and hearken, O ye inhabitants of Zion, and all ye people
of my church who are afar off, and hear the word of the Lord which I
give unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and also unto my servant Martin
Harris, and also unto my servant Oliver Cowdery, and also unto my
servant John Whitmer, and also unto my servant Sidney Rigdon, and also
unto my servant William W. Phelps, by the way of commandment unto them.
91
And all things shall be in commotion; and surely, men’s hearts shall fail them; for fear shall come upon allpeople.
• • •
93
And immediately there shall appear a great sign in heaven, and allpeople shall see it together.
• • •
104
And this shall be the sound of his trump, saying to allpeople,
both in heaven and in earth, and that are under the earth—for every ear
shall hear it, and every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall
confess, while they hear the sound of the trump, saying: Fear God, and
give glory to him who sitteth upon the throne, forever and ever; for the
hour of his judgment is come.
23
The Lord’s scourge shall pass over by night and by day, and the report thereof shall vex allpeople; yea, it shall not be stayed until the Lord come;
23
And let all my people
who dwell in the regions round about be very faithful, and prayerful,
and humble before me, and reveal not the things which I have revealed
unto them, until it is wisdom in me that they should be revealed.
• • •
38
And again I say unto you, sue for peace, not only to the people that have smitten you, but also to allpeople;
13
And that allpeople
who shall enter upon the threshold of the Lord’s house may feel thy
power, and feel constrained to acknowledge that thou hast sanctified it,
and that it is thy house, a place of thy holiness.
• • •
55
Remember the kings, the princes, the nobles, and the great ones of the earth, and allpeople, and the churches, all the poor, the needy, and afflicted ones of the earth;
9
And behold, and lo, this shall be their cry, and the voice of the Lord unto allpeople: Go ye forth unto the land of Zion, that the borders of my people may be enlarged, and that her stakes may be strengthened, and that Zion may go forth unto the regions round about.
10
Yea, let the cry go forth among allpeople:
Awake and arise and go forth to meet the Bridegroom; behold and lo, the
Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Prepare yourselves for the
great day of the Lord.
• • •
21
And he shall utter his voice out of Zion, and he shall speak from Jerusalem, and his voice shall be heard among allpeople;
• • •
50
And his voice shall be heard: I have trodden the wine-press alone, and have brought judgment upon allpeople; and none were with me;
2
Let all the people
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and those who
journey with them, be organized into companies, with a covenant and
promise to keep all the commandments and statutes of the Lord our God.
31
And when Enoch had heard these words, he bowed himself to the earth,
before the Lord, and spake before the Lord, saying: Why is it that I
have found favor in thy sight, and am but a lad, and all the people hate me; for I am slow of speech; wherefore am I thy servant?
8
For behold, the Lord shall curse the land with much heat, and the
barrenness thereof shall go forth forever; and there was a blackness
came upon all the children of Canaan, that they were despised among allpeople.
• • •
12
And it came to pass that Enoch continued to call upon all the people, save it were the people of Canaan, to repent;
• • •
15
And the giants of the land, also, stood afar off; and there went forth a curse upon allpeople that fought against God;
• • •
69
And Enoch and all his people
walked with God, and he dwelt in the midst of Zion; and it came to pass
that Zion was not, for God received it up into his own bosom; and from
thence went forth the saying, Zion is Fled.
33
He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from
the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a
work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil
among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among allpeople.
