unspeakable and full of glory.

      Helaman 5:45

       45 And behold, the Holy Spirit of God did come down from heaven,

       and did enter into their hearts, and they were filled as if with

       fire, and they could speak forth marvelous words.

      Helaman 5:46

       46 And it came to pass that there came a voice unto them, yea, a

       pleasant voice, as if it were a whisper, saying:

      Helaman 5:47

       47 Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well

       Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world.

      Helaman 5:48

       48 And now, when they heard this they cast up their eyes as if

       to behold from whence the voice came; and behold, they saw the

       heavens open; and angels came down out of heaven and ministered

       unto them.

      Helaman 5:49

       49 And there were about three hundred souls who saw and heard

       these things; and they were bidden to go forth and marvel not,

       neither should they doubt.

      Helaman 5:50

       50 And it came to pass that they did go forth, and did minister

       unto the people, declaring throughout all the regions round about

       all the things which they had heard and seen, insomuch that the

       more part of the Lamanites were convinced of them, because of the

       greatness of the evidences which they had received.

      Helaman 5:51

       51 And as many as were convinced did lay down their weapons of

       war, and also their hatred and the tradition of their fathers.

      Helaman 5:52

       52 And it came to pass that they did yield up unto the Nephites

       the lands of their possession.

      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.

      Helaman 6:13

       13 Behold their women did toil and spin, and did make all manner

       of cloth, of fine-twined linen and cloth of every kind, to clothe

       their nakedness. And thus the sixty and fourth year did pass

       away in peace.

      Helaman 6:14

       14 And in the sixty and fifth year they did also have great joy

       and peace, yea, much preaching and many prophecies concerning

       that which was to come. And thus passed away the sixty and fifth

       year.

      Helaman 6:15

       15 And it came to pass that in the sixty and sixth year of the

       reign of the judges, behold, Cezoram was murdered by an unknown

       hand as he sat upon the judgment-seat. And it came to pass that

       in the same year, that his son, who had been appointed by the

       people in his stead, was also
