11:10

       10 And a limnah of gold was the value of them all.

      Alma 11:11

       11 And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums.

      Alma 11:12

       12 And an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums.

      Alma 11:13

       13 And an onti was as great as them all.

      Alma 11:14

       14 Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their

       reckoning—

      Alma 11:15

       15 A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a

       measure of barley.

      Alma 11:16

       16 And a shiblum is a half of a shiblon.

      Alma 11:17

       17 And a leah is the half of a shiblum.

      Alma 11:18

       18 Now this is their number, according to their reckoning.

      Alma 11:19

       19 Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

      Alma 11:20

       20 Now, it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they

       received their wages according to their employ, therefore, they

       did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of

       disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ,

       that they might get money according to the suits which were

       brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people

       against Alma and Amulek.

      Alma 11:21

       21 And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye

       answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? Now Zeezrom was

       a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might

       destroy that which was good; therefore, he said unto Amulek: Will

       ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?

      Alma 11:22

       22 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, if it be according to the

       Spirit of the Lord, which is in me; for I shall say nothing which

       is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord. And Zeezrom said unto

       him: Behold, here are six onties of silver, and all these will I

       give thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a Supreme Being.

      Alma 11:23

       23 Now Amulek said: O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me?

       Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations?

      Alma 11:24

       24 Believest thou that there is no God? I say unto you, Nay,

       thou knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more

       than him.

      Alma 11:25

       25 And now thou hast lied before God unto me. Thou saidst unto

       me—Behold these six onties, which are of great worth, I will

       give unto thee—when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them

       from me; and it was only thy desire that I should deny the true

       and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me. And

       now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.

      Alma 11:26

       26 And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and

       living God?

      Alma 11:27

       27 And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.

      Alma 11:28

       28 Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?

      Alma 11:29

       29 And he answered, No.

      Alma 11:30

       30 Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these

       things?

      Alma 11:31

       31 And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.

      Alma 11:32

       32 And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the

       Son of God?

      Alma 11:33

       33 And he said unto him, Yea.

      Alma 11:34

       34 And Zeezrom said again: Shall he save his people in their

       sins? And Amulek answered and said unto him: I say unto you he

       shall not, for it is impossible for him to deny his word.

      Alma 11:35

       35 Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these

       things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the

       Son of God shall come, but he shall not save his people—as

       though he had authority to command God.

      Alma 11:36

       36 Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for

       thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God

       because I said he shall not save his people in their sins.

      Alma 11:37

       37 And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their

       sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no

       unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how

       can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven?

       Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.

      Alma 11:38

       38 Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very

       Eternal Father?

      Alma 11:39

       39 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father

       of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is

       the beginning and the end, the first and the last;

      Alma 11:40

       40 And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he

       shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on

       his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and

       salvation cometh to none else.

      Alma 11:41

       41 Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no

       redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death;

       for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and

       stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

      Alma 11:42

       42 Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and

       the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death,

       that all shall be raised from this temporal death.

      Alma 11:43
