1 Nephi 1:17 Behold, I make an abridgment of the record of my father upon plates which I have made with mine own hands; Wherefore, after that I have abridged the record of my father, then will I make an account of mine own life.
1 Nephi 1:18 Therefore, I would that ye should know that after the Lord had shown so many marvelous things unto my father Lehi, yea, concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, Behold, he went forth among the people and began to prophesy and to declare unto them concerning the things which he had both seen and heard.
1 Nephi 1:23 But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all them whom He hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty, even unto the power of deliverance.
1 Nephi 1:24 For behold, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto my father, yea, even in a dream, and saith unto him: "Blessed art thou, Lehi, because of the things which thou hast done;
1 Nephi 1:25 And because thou hast been faithful and declared unto this people the things which I commanded thee, Behold, they seek to take away thy life."
1 Nephi 1:38 Now this he spake because of the stiff-neckedness of Laman and Lemuel, For behold, they did murmur in many things against their father because that he was a visionary man and that he had led them out of the Land of Jerusalem, To leave the land of their inheritance and their gold and their silver and their precious things and to perish in the wilderness;
1 Nephi 1:48 Wherefore, I cried unto the Lord; And behold, He did visit me and did soften my heart, that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father; Wherefore, I did not rebel against him like unto my brothers;
1 Nephi 1:51 But behold, Laman and Lemuel would not hearken unto my words;
1 Nephi 1:57 For behold, in that day that they shall rebel against Me, I will curse them even with a sore curse, And they shall have no power over thy seed except they shall rebel against Me also;
1 Nephi 1:60 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, saying: "Behold, I have dreamed a dream in the which the Lord hath commanded me that thou and thy brethren shall return to Jerusalem,
1 Nephi 1:61 For behold, Laban hath the record of the Jews, and also a genealogy of my forefathers, And they are engraven upon plates of brass;
1 Nephi 1:63 "And now behold, thy brothers murmur, saying it is a hard thing which I have required of them; But behold, I have not required it of them, but it is a commandment of the Lord;
1 Nephi 1:71 And behold, it came to pass that Laban was angry and thrust him out from his presence, And he would not that he should have the records;
1 Nephi 1:72 Wherefore, he said unto him: "Behold, thou art a robber and I will slay thee!"
1 Nephi 1:75 But behold, I said unto them that, "As the Lord liveth and as we live, we will not go down unto our father in the wilderness until we have accomplished the thing which the Lord hath commanded us;
1 Nephi 1:77 "Therefore, let us go down to the land of our father's inheritance, For behold, he left gold and silver and all manner of riches;
1 Nephi 1:79 For behold, they have rejected the words of the prophets -
1 Nephi 1:80 Wherefore, if my father should dwell in the land after that he hath been commanded to flee out of the land, behold, he would also perish;
1 Nephi 1:82 "And behold, it is wisdom in God that we should obtain these records, that we might preserve unto our children the language of our fathers,
1 Nephi 1:93 And it came to pass as they smote us with a rod, behold, an angel of the Lord came and stood before them and he spake unto them, saying: "Why do ye smite your younger brother with a rod?
1 Nephi 1:95 Behold, thou shalt go up to Jerusalem again and the Lord will deliver Laban into your hands."
1 Nephi 1:98 Behold, he is a mighty man and he can command fifty, yea, even he can slay fifty; Then why not us?"
1 Nephi 1:99 And it came to pass that I spake unto my brethren, saying: "Let us go up again unto Jerusalem and let us be faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord, For behold, He is mightier than all the earth; Then why not mightier than Laban and his fifty, yea, or even than his tens of thousands?
1 Nephi 1:101 "Now behold, ye know that this is true; And ye also know that an angel hath spoken unto you; Wherefore, can ye doubt?
1 Nephi 1:112 And the Spirit saith unto me again: "Behold, the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands." Yea, and I also knew that he had sought to take away mine own life; Yea, and he would not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord; And he also had taken away our property.
1 Nephi 1:114 Behold, the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth His righteous purposes;
1 Nephi 1:123 And as I went forth toward the treasury of Laban, behold, I saw the servant of Laban which had the keys of the treasury;
1 Nephi 1:146 And it came to pass that after we had come down into the wilderness unto our father, behold, he was filled with joy; And also my mother Sariah was exceeding glad, for she truly had mourned because of us, For she had supposed that we had perished in the wilderness.
1 Nephi 1:147 And she also had complained against my father, telling him that he was a visionary man, saying: "Behold, thou hast led us forth from the land of our inheritance, And my sons are no more and we perish in the wilderness."
1 Nephi 1:150 "But behold, I have obtained a Land of Promise, in the which things I do rejoice;
1 Nephi 1:153 And when we had returned to the tent of my father, behold, their joy was full and my mother was comforted.
1 Nephi 2:12 And it came to pass that as we journeyed in the wilderness, Behold, Laman and Lemuel and two of the daughters of Ishmael, and the two sons of Ishmael and their families, did rebel against us, Yea, against I, Nephi, and Sam and their father Ishmael and his wife and his three other daughters.
1 Nephi 2:14 And now, I, Nephi, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, therefore, I spake unto them saying, yea, even unto Laman and unto Lemuel: "Behold, thou art mine elder brethren, And how is it that ye are so hard in your hearts and so blind in your minds that ye have need that I, your younger brother, should speak unto you, yea, and set an example for you?
1 Nephi 2:21 "For behold, the Spirit of the Lord ceaseth soon to strive with them;
1 Nephi 2:22 For behold, they have rejected the prophets and Jeremiah have they cast into prison,
1 Nephi 2:24 "Now behold I say unto you, that if ye will return unto Jerusalem ye shall also perish with them.
1 Nephi 2:27 And it came to pass that they did lay their hands upon me, for behold, they were exceeding wroth; And they did bind me with cords, for they sought to take away my life that they might leave me in the wilderness to be devoured by wild beasts.
1 Nephi 2:30 And it came to pass that when I had said these words, behold, the bands were loosed from off my hands and feet, And I stood before my brethren and I spake unto them again.
1 Nephi 2:32 But behold, one of the daughters of Ishmael, yea, and also her mother and one of the sons of Ishmael, did plead with my brethren insomuch that they did soften their hearts and they did cease striving to take away my life.
1 Nephi 2:41 And it came to pass that while my father tarried in the wilderness, he spake unto us, saying: "Behold, I have dreamed a dream, or in other words, I have seen a vision;
1 Nephi 2:42 And behold, because of the thing which I have seen, I have reason to rejoice in the Lord because of Nephi, and also of Sam, For I have reason to suppose that they, and also many of their seed, will be saved.
1 Nephi 2:43 "But behold, Laman and Lemuel, I fear exceedingly because of you, For behold, methought I saw a dark and dreary wilderness.
1 Nephi 2:48 "And it came to pass that after I had prayed unto the Lord, beheld, a large and spacious field.
1 Nephi 2:55 And I looked to behold from whence it came and I saw the head thereof a little way off;
1 Nephi 2:78 But to be short in writing, behold, he saw other multitudes pressing forward, And they came and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron, And they did press their way forward, continually holding fast to the rod of iron until they came forth and fell down and partook of the fruit of the tree;
1 Nephi 2:93 And now as I have spoken concerning these plates, behold, they are not the plates upon which I make a full account of the history of my people,
1 Nephi 2:101 Wherefore, He prepareth a way to accomplish all His works among the children of men, For behold, He hath all power unto the fulfilling of all His words;
1 Nephi 3:2 For behold, it came to pass that after my father had made an end of speaking the words of his dream, and also of exhorting them to all diligence, He spake unto them concerning the Jews - How that after they were destroyed, yea, even that great City Jerusalem, and that many were carried away captive into Babylon, That according to the own due time of the Lord they should return again, yea, even be brought back out of captivity;
1 Nephi 3:12 And after that he had baptized the Messiah with water, he should behold and bear record that he had baptized the Lamb of God which should take away the sin of the world.
1 Nephi 3:39 And the Spirit saith unto me: "Behold, what desirest thou?"
1 Nephi 3:40 And I saith: "I desire to behold the things which my father saw."
1 Nephi 3:44 "And blessed art thou, Nephi, because thou believest in the Son of the Most High God; Wherefore, thou shalt behold the things which thou hast desired;
1 Nephi 3:45 And behold, this thing shall be given unto thee for a sign: That after thou hast beheld the tree which bore the fruit of which thy father tasted, thou shalt also behold a Man descending out of heaven, And Him shall ye witness; And after that ye shall have witnessed Him, ye shall bear record that it is the Son of God."
1 Nephi 3:47 And it came to pass that after that I had seen the tree, I said unto the Spirit: "I behold Thou hast shown unto me the tree which is most precious above all."
1 Nephi 3:58 And he said unto me: "Behold, the virgin which thou seest is the mother of God, after the manner of the flesh."
1 Nephi 3:62 And the angel said unto me: "Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Eternal Father!
1 Nephi 3:70 And the angel said unto me again: "Look and behold the Condescension of God."
1 Nephi 3:91 And the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying: "Behold the world and the wisdom thereof;
1 Nephi 3:92 Yea, behold, the house of Israel hath gathered together to fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb."
1 Nephi 3:96 And it came to pass that the angel said unto me: "Look and behold thy seed, and also the seed of thy brethren!"
1 Nephi 3:111 And behold, I saw the multitudes which had not fallen because of the great and terrible judgments of the Lord;
1 Nephi 3:114 And the angel spake unto me, saying: "Behold the twelve disciples of the Lamb which are chosen to minister unto thy seed."
1 Nephi 3:115 And he saith unto me: "Thou remembereth the twelve apostles of the Lamb? Behold, they are they which shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel;
1 Nephi 3:117 And behold, they are righteous forever, For because of their faith in the Lamb of God, their garments are made white in His blood."
1 Nephi 3:122 And the angel said unto me: "Behold thy seed, and also the seed of thy brethren."
1 Nephi 3:124 And the angel spake unto me, saying: "Behold the fountain of filthy water which thy father saw, yea, even the river of which he spake; And the depths thereof are the depths of hell;
1 Nephi 3:133 And the angel said unto me: "Behold, these shall dwindle in unbelief."
1 Nephi 3:137 And I said: "I behold many nations and kingdoms."
1 Nephi 3:140 And the angel said unto me: "Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, Which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them, and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity."
1 Nephi 3:143 And the angel spake unto me, saying: "Behold, the gold and the silver and the silks and the scarlets and the fine-twined linen and the precious clothing and the harlots are the desires of this great and abominable church;
1 Nephi 3:146 And it came to pass that the angel saith unto me: "Behold, the wrath of God is upon the seed of thy brethren!"
1 Nephi 3:160 And he saith: "Behold, it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew." And I, Nephi, beheld it;
1 Nephi 3:167 "And after that they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb from the Jews unto the Gentiles, Behold, after this thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church, which is the most abominable of all other churches.
1 Nephi 3:168 "For behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious,
1 Nephi 3:181 And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying: "' Behold, saith the Lamb of God, ' after that I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel - and this remnant of which I speak is the seed of thy father -
1 Nephi 3:184 'For behold, ' saith the Lamb, 'I will manifest Myself unto thy seed, that they shall write many things which I shall minister unto them, which shall be plain and precious;
1 Nephi 3:185 And after that thy seed shall be destroyed and dwindle in unbelief, and also the seed of thy brethren, Behold, these things shall be hid up to come forth unto the Gentiles by the gift and power of the Lamb;
1 Nephi 3:209 For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil, And also according to the justice of God upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before Him."
1 Nephi 3:219 And it came to pass that he saith unto me: "Look and behold that great and abominable church which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil."
1 Nephi 3:220 And he saith unto me: "Behold, there are save it be two churches -
1 Nephi 3:234 "Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots;
1 Nephi 3:235 And behold, thou seest all these things;
1 Nephi 3:239 And the angel said unto me: "Behold one of the twelve apostles of the Lamb!
1 Nephi 3:240 Behold, he shall see and write the remainder of these things,
1 Nephi 3:244 And behold, they are written in the book which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew;
1 Nephi 3:246 "And behold, the things which this apostle of the Lamb shall write are many things which thou hast seen;
1 Nephi 3:247 And behold, the remainder shalt thou see;
1 Nephi 3:252 And behold, I, Nephi, am forbidden that I should write the remainder of the things which I saw, Wherefore, the things which I have written sufficeth me;
1 Nephi 4:8 And they said: "Behold, we cannot understand the words which our father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the olive tree, and also concerning the Gentiles."
1 Nephi 4:11 "Behold, " I said unto them, "how is it that ye do not keep the commandments of the Lord?
1 Nephi 4:14 "Behold, I say unto you that the house of Israel was compared unto an olive tree by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our father.
1 Nephi 4:15 "And behold, are we not broken off from the house of Israel? And are we not a branch of the house of Israel?
1 Nephi 4:23 "Behold, I say unto you, Yea; They shall be numbered again among the house of Israel;
1 Nephi 4:58 But behold I say unto you that the kingdom of God is not filthy, And there cannot any unclean thing enter into the kingdom of God
1 Nephi 5:1 And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end of speaking to my brethren, behold, they said unto me: "Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than that which we are able to bear."
1 Nephi 5:22 And it came to pass that as I, Nephi, went forth to slay food, behold, I did break my bow which was made of fine steel; And after that I did break my bow, behold, my brethren were angry with me because of the loss of my bow, for we did obtain no food.
1 Nephi 5:32 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord said unto him: "Look upon the ball and behold the things which are written!"
1 Nephi 5:48 And Laman saith unto Lemuel, and also unto the sons of Ishmael: "Behold, let us slay our father, and also our brother Nephi who hath taken it upon him to be our ruler and our teacher, who are his elder brethren.
1 Nephi 5:50 "But behold, we know that he lieth unto us and he telleth us these things; And he worketh many things by his cunning arts, that he may deceive our eyes, thinking perhaps that he may lead us away into some strange wilderness;
1 Nephi 5:97 "Behold, these many years we have suffered in the wilderness, which time we might have enjoyed our possessions and the land of our inheritance, Yea, and we might have been happy.
1 Nephi 5:118 "And now do ye suppose that the children of this land - which were in the Land of Promise, which were driven out by our fathers - do ye suppose that they were righteous? Behold, I say unto you, Nay.
1 Nephi 5:121 "Behold, the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one;
1 Nephi 5:123 But behold, this people had rejected every word of God, And they were ripe in iniquity, And the fullness of the wrath of God was upon them;
1 Nephi 5:126 "Behold, the Lord hath created the earth, that it should be inhabited;
1 Nephi 5:132 Behold, He loved our fathers, And He covenanted with them, yea, even Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, And He remembered the covenants which He had made;
1 Nephi 5:151 "Behold, my soul is rent with anguish because of you and my heart is pained; I fear lest ye shall be cast off forever;
1 Nephi 5:152 Behold, I am full of the Spirit of God insomuch as if my frame had no strength."
1 Nephi 5:182 And after that we had been driven forth before the wind for the space of many days, Behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael, and also their wives, began to make themselves merry insomuch that they began to dance and to sing and to speak with much rudeness,
1 Nephi 5:187 But behold, they were angry with me, saying: "We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us."
1 Nephi 5:198 Wherefore, they came unto me and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists; And behold, they had much swollen exceedingly, And also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof;
1 Nephi 5:200 Now my father Lehi had said many things unto them, and also unto the sons of Ishmael, But behold, they did breathe out much threatenings against anyone that should speak for me;
1 Nephi 5:209 And it came to pass that after they had loosed me, behold, I took the compass and it did work whither I desired it;
1 Nephi 5:228 And then behold, I proceed according to that which I have spoken; And this I do that the more sacred things may be kept for the knowledge of my people.
1 Nephi 5:236 And behold, He cometh, according to the words of the angel, in six hundred years from the time my father left Jerusalem.
1 Nephi 5:260 For behold, I have workings in the Spirit which doth weary me, even that all my joints are weak for they which are at Jerusalem;
1 Nephi 6:10 "Behold, I have declared the former things from the beginning; And they went forth out of My mouth and I showed them - I did show them suddenly.
1 Nephi 6:14 They are created now and not from the beginning; Even before the day when thou heardest them not, they were declared unto thee, Lest thou shouldst say, 'Behold, I knew them.'
1 Nephi 6:17 For behold, I have refined thee - I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
1 Nephi 6:42 And then, O house of Israel, Behold, these shall come from far; And lo, these, from the north and from the west, And these, from the Land of Sinim."
1 Nephi 6:44 But behold, Zion hath said, "The Lord hath forsaken me, And my Lord hath forgotten me." But He will show that He hath not.
1 Nephi 6:46 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; Thy walls are continually before Me.
1 Nephi 6:48 Lift up thine eyes round about and behold; All these gather themselves together and they shall come to thee. And as I live, " saith the Lord, "thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, And bind them on even as a bride.
1 Nephi 6:51 Then shalt thou say in thine heart: 'Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, And am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? And who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; These - where have they been?'"
1 Nephi 6:52 Thus saith the Lord God: "Behold, I will lift up Mine hand to the Gentiles and set up My standard to the people; And they shall bring thy sons in their arms, And thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders;
1 Nephi 7:2 Behold, are they to be understood according to things which are spiritual, which shall come to pass according to the spirit and not the flesh?"
1 Nephi 7:3 And I, Nephi, saith unto them: "Behold, they were made manifest unto the prophet by the voice of the Spirit,
1 Nephi 7:7 "And behold, there are many which are already lost from the knowledge of they which are at Jerusalem;
1 Nephi 7:13 "Nevertheless, after that they have been nursed by the Gentiles and the Lord hath lifted up His hand upon the Gentiles and set them up for a standard - And their children shall be carried in their arms, And their daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders; Behold, these things of which are spoken are temporal, For thus are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers;
1 Nephi 7:32 "'For behold, ' saith the prophet, 'that the time cometh speedily that Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of men;
1 Nephi 7:38 "Behold my brethren, I say unto you that these things must shortly come, Yea, even blood and fire and vapor of smoke must come;
1 Nephi 7:41 "For behold, the righteous shall not perish;
1 Nephi 7:63 "And now behold, I, Nephi, say unto you that all these things must come according to the flesh;
1 Nephi 7:64 But behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel, if it so be that they will repent.
2 Nephi 1:4 "For behold, " saith he, "I have seen a vision in the which I know that Jerusalem is destroyed,
2 Nephi 1:16 "And behold, it is wisdom that this land should be kept as yet from the knowledge of other nations,
2 Nephi 1:17 For behold, many nations would overrun this land, that there would be no place for an inheritance.
2 Nephi 1:22 "But behold, when the time cometh that they shall dwindle in unbelief - After that they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord, Having a knowledge of the creation of the earth and all men, knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord from the creation of the world, Having power given them to do all things by faith, Having all the commandments from the beginning, And having been brought by His infinite goodness into this precious Land of Promise -
2 Nephi 1:23 Behold I say, if the day shall come that they will reject the Holy One of Israel, the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, Behold, the judgments of Him that is just shall rest upon them -
2 Nephi 1:29 But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have beheld His glory and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of His love!
2 Nephi 1:30 "And I desire that ye should remember to observe the statutes and the judgments of the Lord; Behold, this hath been the anxiety of my soul from the beginning;
2 Nephi 1:34 "But behold, His will be done, for His ways are righteousness forever; And He hath said that, 'Inasmuch as ye shall keep My commandments, ye shall prosper in the land, But inasmuch as ye will not keep My commandments, ye shall be cut off from My presence.'
2 Nephi 1:44 "For behold, ye have accused him that he sought power and authority over you,
2 Nephi 1:48 But behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the power of the word of God which was in him;
2 Nephi 1:51 But behold, it was not him, But it was the Spirit of the Lord which was in him which opened his mouth to utterance, that he could not shut it.
2 Nephi 1:52 "And now my son Laman, and also Lemuel and Sam, and also my sons which are the sons of Ishmael, Behold, if ye will hearken unto the voice of Nephi, ye shall not perish;
2 Nephi 1:55 "And now Zoram, I speak unto you: Behold, thou art the servant of Laban; Nevertheless, thou hast been brought out of the Land of Jerusalem, And I know that thou art a true friend unto my son Nephi forever;
2 Nephi 1:60 And behold, in thy childhood thou hast suffered afflictions and much sorrow because of the rudeness of thy brethren;
2 Nephi 1:72 Behold, He offereth Himself a sacrifice for sin to answer the ends of the law unto all those which have a broken heart and a contrite spirit, And unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.
2 Nephi 1:111 "And now behold, if Adam had not transgressed, he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden;
2 Nephi 1:114 "But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of Him who knoweth all things;
2 Nephi 2:5 For behold, thou art the fruit of my loins and I am a descendant of Joseph which was carried captive into Egypt;
2 Nephi 2:25 "And thus prophesied Joseph, saying: 'Behold, that seer will the Lord bless;
2 Nephi 2:28 Behold, I am sure of the fulfilling of this promise;
2 Nephi 2:37 And I, behold, I will give unto him that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins unto the fruit of thy loins, And the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.
2 Nephi 2:44 "And now behold, my son Joseph, after this manner did my father of old prophesy:
2 Nephi 2:49 Behold, thou art little; Wherefore, hearken unto the words of thy brother Nephi and it shall be done unto thee even according to the words which I have spoken;
2 Nephi 3:2 For behold, he truly prophesied concerning all his seed;
2 Nephi 3:7 "Behold, my sons and my daughters which are the sons and the daughters of my firstborn: I would that ye should give ear unto my words,
2 Nephi 3:10 "But behold, my sons and my daughters, I cannot go down to my grave save I should leave a blessing upon you;
2 Nephi 3:11 For behold, I know that if ye are brought up in the right way that ye should go, ye will not depart from it;
2 Nephi 3:12 Wherefore, if ye are cursed, behold, I leave my blessing upon you that the cursing may be taken from you and be answered upon the heads of your parents;
2 Nephi 3:15 And he spake unto them, saying: "Behold, my sons and my daughters which are the sons and the daughters of my second son,
2 Nephi 3:16 Behold, I leave unto you the same blessing which I left unto the sons and daughters of Laman; Wherefore, thou shalt not utterly be destroyed, but in the end thy seed shall be blessed."
2 Nephi 3:17 And it came to pass that when my father had made an end of speaking unto them, Behold, it came to pass that he spake unto the sons of Ishmael, yea, and even all his household;
2 Nephi 3:30 Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord, And my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.
2 Nephi 3:38 Behold, He hath heard my cry by day, And He hath given me knowledge by visions in the nighttime;
2 Nephi 3:66 Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto Thee, my Rock and mine Everlasting God. Amen.
2 Nephi 4:1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did cry much unto the Lord my God because of the anger of my brethren,
2 Nephi 4:2 But behold, their anger did increase against me, insomuch that they did seek to take away my life;
2 Nephi 4:4 For behold, we will not that he shall be our ruler, for it belongeth unto us which are the elder brethren to rule over this people."
2 Nephi 4:29 And behold, the words of the Lord had been fulfilled unto my brethren which He spake concerning them, that I should be their ruler and their teacher;
2 Nephi 4:32 And behold, they were cut off from His presence.
2 Nephi 4:34 For behold, they had hardened their hearts against Him, that they had become like unto a flint;
2 Nephi 5:2 Behold, my beloved brethren, that I, Jacob, having been called of God and ordained after the manner of His holy order,
2 Nephi 5:4 Behold, ye know that I have spoken unto you exceeding many things;
2 Nephi 5:9 And now behold, I would speak unto you concerning things which are and which are to come;
2 Nephi 5:17 "Thus saith the Lord God: 'Behold, I will lift up Mine hand to the Gentiles and set up My standard to the people;
2 Nephi 5:22 And now I, Jacob, would speak somewhat concerning these words; For behold, the Lord hath shown me that they which were at Jerusalem from whence we came have been slain and carried away captive;
2 Nephi 5:26 And after that they have hardened their hearts and stiffened their necks against the Holy One of Israel, Behold, the judgments of the Holy One of Israel shall come upon them.
2 Nephi 5:31 For behold, if it so be that they shall repent and fight not against Zion and do not unite themselves to that great and abominable church, they shall be saved,
2 Nephi 5:36 And behold, according to the words of the prophet, the Messiah will set Himself again the second time to recover them;
2 Nephi 5:50 Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, And for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Nephi 5:53 Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea - I make the rivers a wilderness, And their fish to stink because the waters are dried up, And they dieth because of thirst.
2 Nephi 5:66 And all they which shall condemn Me - Behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, And the moth shall eat them up.
2 Nephi 5:68 Behold, all ye that kindleth fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled -
2 Nephi 5:93 Behold, who art thou that thou shouldst be afraid of man which shall die? And of the son of man which shall be made like unto grass?

2 Nephi 6:46 For behold, He suffereth the pains of all men, Yea, the pains of every living creature - both men and women and children - which belong to the family of Adam;

2 Nephi 6:72 And in fine, wo unto all they that die in their sins! for they shall return to God and behold His face and remain in their sins.
2 Nephi 6:81 Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, And the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel, and He employeth no servant there;
2 Nephi 6:86 O my beloved brethren, remember my words! Behold, I take off my garments and I shake them before you;
2 Nephi 6:94 But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things?
2 Nephi 6:97 Behold, if ye were holy, I would speak unto you of holiness, But as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.
2 Nephi 6:98 Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, And my heart delighteth in righteousness, And I will praise the holy name of my God!

2 Nephi 7:12 But behold, thus saith the Lord God: "When the day cometh that they shall believe in Me, that I Am Christ, Then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the flesh upon the earth unto the lands of their inheritance.
2 Nephi 7:17 "But behold, this land, " saith God, "shall be a land of thine inheritance; And the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land,
2 Nephi 7:38 For behold, the Lord God hath led away from time to time from the house of Israel according to His will and pleasure.

2 Nephi 8:7 Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ,
2 Nephi 8:39 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff - The whole staff of bread and the whole stay of water,
2 Nephi 8:77 For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah, His pleasant plant; And He looked for judgment, and behold, oppression; For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
2 Nephi 8:96 And He will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, And will hiss unto them from the end of the earth; And behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
2 Nephi 8:100 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea. And if they look unto the land, Behold, darkness and sorrow; And the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
2 Nephi 9:27 "Therefore, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and shall bear a Son and shall call His name Immanuel.
2 Nephi 9:42 For behold, the child shall not have knowledge to cry, 'My father' and 'My mother, ' before the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria."

2 Nephi 11:2 For behold, Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of my people to understand, For they know not concerning the manner of prophesying among the Jews,
2 Nephi 11:7 For behold, my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people, that they may learn;
2 Nephi 11:9 But behold, I, Nephi, have not taught my children after the manner of the Jews; But behold, I, of myself, have dwelt at Jerusalem, wherefore, I know concerning the regions round about;
2 Nephi 11:11 But behold, I proceed with mine own prophecy, according to my plainness, in the which I know that no man can err.
2 Nephi 11:21 But behold, they shall have wars and rumors of wars; And when the day cometh that the Only Begotten of the Father, yea, even the Father of heaven and of earth, shall manifest Himself unto them in the flesh, Behold, they will reject Him because of priestcrafts and the hardness of their hearts and the stiffness of their necks -
2 Nephi 11:22 Behold, they will crucify Him. And after that He is laid in a sepulcher for the space of three days, He shall rise from the dead with healing in His wings; And all they that shall believe on His name shall be saved in the kingdom of God;
2 Nephi 11:24 And behold, it shall come to pass that after the Messiah hath risen from the dead and hath manifested Himself unto His people, unto as many as will believe on His name, Behold, Jerusalem shall be destroyed again, For wo unto them that fight against God and the people of His church!

2 Nephi 11:95 For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness;
2 Nephi 11:98 Behold, doth He cry unto any, saying, "Depart from Me"?
2 Nephi 11:99 Behold I say unto you, Nay! But He saith: "Come unto Me, all ye ends of the earth, Buy milk and honey without money and without price."
2 Nephi 11:100 Behold, hath He commanded any that they should depart out of the synagogues, or out of the houses of worship?

2 Nephi 11:104 Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of His goodness?
2 Nephi 11:105 Behold I say unto you, Nay! But all men are privileged, the one like unto the other, And none are forbidden.
2 Nephi 11:106 He commandeth that there shall be no priestcrafts; For behold, priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world, But they seek not the welfare of Zion.
2 Nephi 11:107 Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing! Wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love;
2 Nephi 11:116 But behold, in the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles, Yea, behold, all the nations of the Gentiles, and also the Jews - Both they which shall come upon this land, And they which shall be upon other lands, yea, even upon all the lands of the earth - Behold, they will be drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations.
2 Nephi 11:119 Yea, it shall be unto them even as unto a hungry man which dreameth, And behold - he eateth, But he awaketh, and his soul is empty;
2 Nephi 11:120 Or like unto a thirsty man which dreameth, And behold - he drinketh, But he awaketh, And behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite; But he awaketh,

2 Nephi 11:124 For behold, ye have closed your eyes; And ye have rejected the prophets, And your rulers and the seers hath He covered because of your iniquity.
2 Nephi 11:126 And behold, the book shall be sealed; And in the book shall be a revelation from God, from the beginning of the world to the ending thereof.
2 Nephi 11:130 For the book shall be sealed by the power of God; And the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book until the own due time of the Lord, that they may come forth; For behold, they reveal all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof.
2 Nephi 11:133 Wherefore, at that day when the book shall be delivered unto the man of whom I have spoken, The book shall be hid from the eyes of the world that the eyes of none shall behold it, Save it be that three witnesses shall behold it by the power of God, besides him to whom the book shall be delivered, And they shall testify to the truth of the book and the things therein;
2 Nephi 11:136 But behold, it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall say unto him to whom He shall deliver the book, "Take these words which are not sealed and deliver them to another, " That he may show them unto the learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee."
2 Nephi 11:145 "For behold, I Am God and I Am a God of miracles; And I will show unto the world that I Am the same yesterday, today and forever; And I work not among the children of men, save it be according to their faith."
2 Nephi 11:151 "But behold, I will show unto them, " saith the Lord of Hosts, "that I know all their works;
2 Nephi 11:154 "But behold, " saith the Lord of Hosts, "I will show unto the children of men that it is not yet a very little while and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field; And the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.
2 Nephi 12:1 And now behold, my brethren, I have spoken unto you according as the Spirit hath constrained me; Wherefore, I know that they must surely come to pass;
2 Nephi 12:3 For it shall come to pass in that day, that the churches which are built up, and not unto the Lord, When the one shall say unto the other, "Behold I, I am the Lord's, " And the other shall say, "I, I am the Lord's."
2 Nephi 12:7 For behold, there is no God today, For the Lord and the Redeemer hath done His work, And He hath given His power unto men.

2 Nephi 12:22 But behold, that great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth, must tumble to the earth and great must be the fall thereof,
2 Nephi 12:24 For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men and stir them up to anger against that which is good;
2 Nephi 12:27 And behold, others he flattereth away and telleth them there is no hell, And he saith unto them: "I am no devil, for there is none."
2 Nephi 12:34 For behold, he that is built upon the Rock, receiveth it with gladness; And he that is built upon a sandy foundation, trembleth lest he shall fall.
2 Nephi 12:36 For behold, thus saith the Lord God: "I will give unto the children of men, Line upon line and precept upon precept, Here a little and there a little;
2 Nephi 12:42 "But behold, there shall be many at that day when I shall proceed to do a marvelous work among them, That I may remember My covenants which I have made unto the children of men, That I may set My hand again the second time to recover My people which are of the house of Israel,
2 Nephi 12:52 But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; For I, the Lord, hath not forgotten My people.
2 Nephi 12:67 "For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews, and they shall write it;
2 Nephi 12:75 And now behold, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you; For I, Nephi, would not suffer that ye should suppose that ye are more righteous than the Gentiles shall be.
2 Nephi 12:76 For behold, except ye shall keep the commandments of God, ye shall all likewise perish; And because of the words which have been spoken, ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed.
2 Nephi 12:77 For behold I say unto you, As many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord; And as many of the Jews as will not repent shall be cast off;
2 Nephi 13:16 Wherefore my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son with full purpose of heart, Acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, Witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ by baptism, Yea, by following your Lord and Savior down into the water according to His word, Behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost;
2 Nephi 13:18 But behold, my beloved brethren, thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying: "After that ye have repented of your sins, And witnessed unto the Father that ye are willing to keep My commandments by the baptism of water, And have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, And can speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels - And after this should deny Me, It would have been better for you that ye had not known Me."
2 Nephi 13:28 Behold, I say unto you, Nay; For ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ, with unshaken faith in Him, Relying wholly upon the merits of Him who is mighty to save.
2 Nephi 13:30 Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ and endure to the end, "Behold, " thus saith the Father, "ye shall have eternal life."
2 Nephi 13:31 And now behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way, And there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.
2 Nephi 13:32 And now behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, And the only and true doctrine of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God without end. Amen.
2 Nephi 14:1 And now behold, my beloved brethren, I suppose that ye ponder somewhat in your hearts concerning that which ye should do after that ye have entered in by the way.
2 Nephi 14:2 But behold, why do ye ponder these things in your hearts? Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after that ye have received the Holy Ghost, ye could speak with the tongue of angels?
2 Nephi 14:4 Wherefore, I said unto you: Feast upon the words of Christ, For behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.
2 Nephi 14:6 For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do.
2 Nephi 14:7 Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ; And there will be no more doctrine given until after that He shall manifest Himself unto you in the flesh;
2 Nephi 14:12 But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always and not faint, That ye must not perform anything unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, That He will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.
2 Nephi 15:2 But behold, there are many that harden their hearts against the Holy Spirit, that it hath no place in them; Wherefore, they cast many things away which are written and esteem them as things of naught.
2 Nephi 15:10 But behold, for none of these I cannot hope, except they shall be reconciled unto Christ, And enter into the narrow gate and walk in the strait path which leads to life, And continue in the path until the end of the day of probation.
2 Nephi 15:17 And you that will not partake of the goodness of God and respect the words of the Jews, And also my words and the words which shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the Lamb of God, Behold, I bid you an everlasting farewell, for these words shall condemn you at the last day,
Jacob 1:1 For behold, it came to pass that fifty and five years had passed away from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem; Wherefore, Nephi gave me, Jacob, a commandment concerning these small plates upon which these things are engraven;

Jacob 2:5 But behold, hearken ye unto me and know that by the help of the all-powerful Creator of heaven and earth, I can tell you concerning your thoughts, How that ye are beginning to labor in sin, which sin appeareth very abominable unto me, yea, and abominable unto God.

Jacob 2:17 And now my brethren, do ye suppose that God justifieth you in this thing? Behold, I say unto you, Nay;
Jacob 2:32 For behold, thus saith the Lord: "This people beginneth to wax in iniquity; They understand not the scriptures, For they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms because of the things which were written concerning David and Solomon his son.
Jacob 2:33 "Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before Me!" saith the Lord;
Jacob 2:40 "For behold, I, the Lord, have seen the sorrow and heard the mourning of the daughters of My people in the Land of Jerusalem, Yea, and in all the lands of My people, because of the wickedness and abominations of their husbands;
Jacob 2:44 And now behold, my brethren, ye know that these commandments were given to our father Lehi; Wherefore, ye have known them before; And ye have come unto great condemnation, for ye have done these things which ye ought not to have done.
Jacob 2:45 Behold, ye have done greater iniquity than the Lamanites, our brethren;
Jacob 2:48 But behold, I, Jacob, would speak unto you that are pure in heart:
Jacob 2:54 Behold, the Lamanites, your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursings which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you,

Jacob 3:5 Behold, they believed in Christ and worshipped the Father in His name, And also we worship the Father in His name,
Jacob 3:9 Behold, great and marvelous are the works of the Lord!
Jacob 3:12 For behold, by the power of His word man came upon the face of the earth, Which earth was created by the power of His word;

Jacob 3:19 Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men, For the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not;
Jacob 3:21 But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things, for God also spake them unto prophets of old.
Jacob 3:22 But behold, the Jews were a stiff-necked people, And they despised the words of plainness and killed the prophets and sought for things that they could not understand;
Jacob 3:27 But behold, according to the scriptures this stone shall become the great and the last and the only sure foundation upon which the Jews can build.
Jacob 3:29 Behold, my beloved brethren, I will unfold this mystery unto you, if I do not by any means get shaken from my firmness in the Spirit and stumble because of my overanxiety for you.
Jacob 3:30 Behold, my brethren, do ye not remember to have read the words of the prophet Zenos which spake unto the house of Israel, saying: Hearken, O ye house of Israel, and hear the words of me, a prophet of the Lord;
Jacob 3:31 For behold, thus saith the Lord: "I will liken thee, O house of Israel, like unto a tame olive tree which a man took and nourished in his vineyard, And it grew and waxed old and began to decay.
Jacob 3:34 "And it came to pass that after many days it began to put forth somewhat a little, young and tender branches; But behold, the main top thereof began to perish.
Jacob 3:37 'And behold, ' saith the Lord of the vineyard, 'I take away many of these young and tender branches and I will graft them whithersoever I will;
Jacob 3:51 "And it came to pass that the Servant saith unto His Master: 'Behold, look here! Behold the tree! '
Jacob 3:54 "And He saith unto the Servant: 'Behold, the branches of the wild tree hath taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof, that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength;
Jacob 3:57 And now behold, I shall lay up much fruit which the tree thereof hath brought forth, And the fruit thereof I shall lay up against the season unto Mine own self.'
Jacob 3:58 "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard saith unto the Servant: 'Come, let us go to the nethermost parts of the vineyard and behold if the natural branches of the tree hath not brought forth much fruit also, That I may lay up of the fruit thereof against the season unto Mine own self.'
Jacob 3:59 "And it came to pass that they went forth whither the Master of the vineyard had hid the natural branches of the tree; And He saith unto the Servant, 'Behold these.'
Jacob 3:62 For behold, ' saith He, 'this long time have I nourished it and it hath brought forth much fruit.'
Jacob 3:63 "And it came to pass that the Servant saith unto His Master: 'How comest Thou hither to plant this tree, or this branch of the tree? For behold, it was the poorest spot in all the land of Thy vineyard.'
Jacob 3:65 "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard saith unto His Servant: 'Look hither; Behold, I have planted another branch of the tree also, And Thou knowest that this spot of ground was poorer than the first;
Jacob 3:66 But behold the tree; I have nourished it this long time and it hath brought forth much fruit; Therefore, gather it and lay it up against the season, that I may preserve it unto Mine own self.'
Jacob 3:67 "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard saith again unto His Servant: 'Look hither and behold another branch also which I have planted; Behold that I have nourished it also and it hath brought forth fruit.'
Jacob 3:68 "And He saith unto the Servant: 'Look hither and behold the last; Behold, this have I planted in a good spot of ground, And I have nourished it this long time and only a part of the tree hath brought forth tame fruit, And the other part of the tree hath brought forth wild fruit; Behold, I have nourished this tree like unto the others.'
Jacob 3:70 "But behold, the Servant saith unto Him: 'Let Us prune it and dig about it and nourish it a little longer, that perhaps it may bring forth good fruit unto Thee, that Thou canst lay it up against the season.'
Jacob 3:73 For behold, the time draweth near and the end soon cometh; Wherefore, I must lay up fruit against the season unto Mine own self.'
Jacob 3:74 "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard and the Servant went down into the vineyard; And They came to the tree whose natural branches had been broken off and the wild branches had been grafted in; And behold, all sorts of fruit did cumber the tree.
Jacob 3:76 And the Lord of the vineyard saith: 'Behold, this long time have We nourished this tree, And I have laid up unto Myself against the season much fruit;
Jacob 3:77 But behold, this time it hath brought forth much fruit and there is none of it which is good;
Jacob 3:78 And behold, there are all kinds of bad fruit, And it profiteth Me nothing, notwithstanding all Our labor; And now it grieveth Me that I should lose this tree.'
Jacob 3:80 "And the Servant saith unto His Master: 'Behold, because Thou didst graft in the branches of the wild olive tree, they have nourished the roots, that they are alive and they have not perished; Wherefore, Thou beholdest that they are yet good.'
Jacob 3:83 But behold, the wild branches have grown and have overrun the roots thereof; And because that the wild branches have overcome the roots thereof, it hath brought forth much evil fruit;
Jacob 3:85 "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard saith unto His Servant: 'Let Us go down into the nethermost parts of the vineyard and behold if the natural branches have also brought forth evil fruit.'
Jacob 3:90 Behold, I knew that all the fruit of the vineyard, save it were these, had become corrupted;
Jacob 3:93 And behold, this last, whose branch hath withered away, I did plant in a good spot of ground - Yea, even that which was choice unto Me above all other parts of the land of My vineyard;
Jacob 3:96 And because that I plucked not the branches thereof and cast them into the fire, Behold, they have overcome the good branch, that it hath withered away.
Jacob 3:97 'And now behold, notwithstanding all the care which We have taken of My vineyard, The trees thereof hath become corrupted, that they bring forth no good fruit;
Jacob 3:99 'But behold, they have become like unto the wild olive tree and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire; And it grieveth Me that I should lose them;
Jacob 3:107 And because that the branches have overcome the roots thereof - For behold, they grew faster than the strength of the roots thereof, taking strength unto themselves -
Jacob 3:108 Behold I say, is not this the cause that the trees of Thy vineyard hath become corrupted?'
Jacob 3:110 "But behold, the Servant saith unto the Lord of the vineyard: 'Spare it a little longer.'
Jacob 3:115 'And behold, the roots of the natural branches of the tree, which I planted whithersoever I would, are yet alive;
Jacob 3:126 'Wherefore, let Us go to and labor with Our mights this last time, For behold, the end draweth nigh, And this is for the last time that I shall prune My vineyard;
Jacob 3:135 And the bad shall be cast away, yea, even out of all the land of My vineyard; For behold, only this once will I prune My vineyard.'
Jacob 3:138 For behold, this is the last time that I shall nourish My vineyard, For the end is nigh at hand and the season speedily cometh;
Jacob 3:145 "And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw that His fruit was good and that His vineyard was no more corrupt, He calleth up His servants and saith unto them: 'Behold, for this last time have we nourished My vineyard, And thou beholdest that I have done according to My will,
Jacob 3:147 For because that ye have been diligent in laboring with Me in My vineyard and have kept My commandments, And hath brought unto Me again the natural fruit, that My vineyard is no more corrupted and the bad is cast away, Behold, ye shall have joy with Me because of the fruit of My vineyard.
Jacob 3:148 'For behold, for a long time will I lay up of the fruit of My vineyard unto Mine own self against the season which speedily cometh;
Jacob 4:1 And now behold, my brethren, as I said unto you that I would prophesy, Behold, this is my prophecy:

Alma 7:14 "But behold, this is not all - He hath commanded you to repent or He will utterly destroy you from off the face of the earth; Yea, He will visit you in His anger, And in His fierce anger He will not turn away.
Alma 7:15 "Behold, do ye not remember the words which He spake unto Lehi, saying that: ' Inasmuch as ye shall keep My commandments, ye shall prosper in the land '?
Alma 7:24 "But behold, I say unto you that if ye persist in your wickedness, that your days shall not be prolonged in the land, for the Lamanites shall be sent upon you;
Alma 7:35 "And now behold I say unto you, that if this people, who have received so many blessings from the hand of the Lord, should transgress contrary to the light and knowledge which they do have -
Alma 7:37 "For behold, the promises of the Lord are extended to the Lamanites, but they are not unto you if ye transgress;
Alma 7:41 'And behold, He cometh to redeem those who will be baptized unto repentance through faith on His name.
Alma 7:45 "Now behold, this is the voice of the angel crying unto the people.
Alma 7:47 Now it came to pass that when I, Alma, had spoken these words, Behold, the people were wroth with me because I said unto them that they were a hard-hearted and a stiff - necked people;
Alma 8:4 "And behold, I am also a man of no small reputation among all those who know me.
Alma 8:5 "Yea, and behold, I have many kindred and friends and I have also acquired much riches by the hand of my industry;
Alma 8:7 "I said I never had known much of these things, but behold I mistake, for I have seen much of His mysteries and His miraculous power, Yea, even in the preservation of the lives of this people.
Alma 8:10 "As I was a journeying to see a very near kindred, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto me and said: 'Amulek, return to thine own house, for thou shalt feed a prophet of the Lord, yea, a holy man which art a chosen man of God;
Alma 8:13 And as I was a going thither, I found the man which the angel said unto me, ' Thou shalt receive into thy house '; And behold, it was this same man which hath been speaking unto you concerning the things of God.
Alma 8:15 "And again, I know that the things whereof he hath testified are true; For behold I say unto you, that as the Lord liveth, even so He hath sent His angel to make these things manifest unto me; And this He hath done while this Alma hath dwelt at my house.
Alma 8:16 "For behold, he hath blessed mine house; He hath blessed me and my women and my children and my father and my kinsfolk,
Alma 8:38 "For behold, have I testified against your law?
Alma 8:40 "And now behold, I say unto you that the foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges."
Alma 8:70 And Zeezrom saith unto him: "Behold, here are six onties of silver, And all these will I give unto thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a Supreme Being."
Alma 8:76 For thou saidst unto me, 'Behold these six onties which are of great worth, I will give unto thee, ' when thou had it in thy heart to retain them from me;
Alma 8:78 "And now behold, for this great evil, thou shalt have thy reward."
Alma 8:90 Now Amulek said 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 8:98 "For behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God and be judged according to their works.
Alma 8:105 "Now behold, I have spoken unto you concerning the death of the mortal body, and also concerning the resurrection of the mortal body;
Alma 9:4 For behold, He knows all thy thoughts; And thou seest that thy thoughts are made known unto us by His Spirit;
Alma 9:8 "And behold, I say unto you all that this was a snare of the adversary which he hath laid to catch this people,
Alma 9:28 "And now behold, I say unto you, then cometh a death, even a second death which is a spiritual death;
Alma 9:39 "And now behold I say unto you, that if it had been possible for Adam for to have partaken of the fruit of the tree of life at that time, that there would have been no death and the word would have been void, making God a liar, For He said: 'If thou eat thereof, thou shalt surely die.'
Alma 9:44 "And now behold, if it were possible that our first parents could have gone forth and partaken of the tree of life, they would have been forever miserable, having no preparatory state;
Alma 9:46 "But behold, it was not so, but it was appointed unto man that they must die; And after death they must come to judgment, even that same judgment of which we have spoken, which is the end.
Alma 9:47 "And after God had appointed that these things should come unto man, Behold, then He saw that it was expedient that man should know concerning the things whereof He had appointed unto them.
Alma 9:48 "Therefore, He sent angels to converse with them which caused men to behold of His glory;
Alma 9:56 And whosoever will harden his heart and will do iniquity, behold, I swear in My wrath that they shall not enter into My rest.'
Alma 9:57 "And now my brethren, behold I say unto you, that if ye will harden your hearts ye shall not enter into the rest of the Lord;
Alma 10:13 And behold, they did repent; And Melchizedek did establish peace in the land in his days,
Alma 10:17 Behold, the scriptures are before you; If ye will wrest them, it shall be to your own destruction."
Alma 10:23 "For behold, angels are declaring it unto many at this time in our land, And this is for the purpose of preparing the hearts of the children of men for to receive His word at the time of His coming in His glory.
Alma 10:42 And it came to pass that he began to cry unto the people, saying: "Behold, I am guilty and these men are spotless before God!"
Alma 10:50 But Alma saith unto him: "The Spirit constraineth me that I must not stretch forth mine hand, For behold, the Lord receiveth them up unto Himself in glory;
Alma 10:53 Now Amulek saith unto Alma: "Behold, perhaps they will burn us also."
Alma 10:54 And Alma saith: "Be it according to the will of the Lord; But behold, our work is not finished, therefore, they burn us not."
Alma 10:57 "Behold, ye see that ye had not power to save these which had been cast into the fire, Neither hath God saved them because they were of thy faith."
Alma 10:87 And behold, there they found all the people which had departed out of the Land of Ammonihah, who had been cast out and stoned because they believed in the words of Alma;
Alma 11:2 For behold, the armies of the Lamanites had come in on the wilderness side into the borders of the land, even into the City of Ammonihah, and began to slay the people and to destroy the city.
Alma 11:9 And Alma returned and said unto them: "Behold, the Lamanites will cross the River Sidon in the South Wilderness, away up beyond the borders of the Land of Manti;
Alma 11:10 And behold, there shall ye meet them on the east of the River Sidon; And there the Lord will deliver unto thee thy brethren which have been taken captive by the Lamanites."
Alma 11:16 But behold, in one day it was left desolate, And their carcasses were mangled by dogs and by wild beasts of the wilderness.
Alma 12:1 And now it came to pass that as Alma was journeying from the Land of Gideon southward, away to the Land of Manti, Behold, to his astonishment, he met the sons of Mosiah a journeying toward the Land of Zarahemla.
Alma 12:39 Therefore, as Ammon and the servants of the king were driving forth their flocks to this place of water, Behold, a certain number of the Lamanites who had been with their flocks to water stood and scattered the flocks of Ammon and the servants of the king; And they scattered them insomuch that they fled many ways.
Alma 12:41 And they began to weep exceedingly, saying: "Behold, our flocks are scattered already."
Alma 12:56 But behold, every man that lifted his club to smite Ammon, he smote off their arms with his sword,
Alma 12:64 Behold, is not this the Great Spirit which doth send such great punishments upon this people because of their murders?"
Alma 12:76 And they saith unto him: "Behold, he is feeding thy horses."
Alma 12:89 And he saith unto him: "Is it because that thou hast heard that I defended thy servants and thy flocks and slew seven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword and smote off the arms of others in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants? Behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?
Alma 12:91 "Behold, I am a man and am thy servant; Therefore, whatsoever thou desirest which is right, that will I do."
Alma 12:143 For as sure as thou livest, behold, I have seen my Redeemer! And He shall come forth and be born of a woman, And He shall redeem all mankind who believe on His name."
Alma 12:155 And they also saw Ammon, And behold, he was a Nephite.
Alma 12:160 Now one of them whose brother had been slain with the sword of Ammon, being exceeding angry with Ammon, drew his sword and went forth that he might let it fall upon Ammon to slay him; And as he lifted the sword to smite him, behold, he fell dead.
Alma 12:172 And when she had done this, she took the king, Lamoni, by the hand and behold, he arose and stood upon his feet;
Alma 12:177 And behold, many did declare unto the people that they had seen angels and had conversed with them; And thus they had told them things of God and of His righteousness.
Alma 12:182 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came to Ammon, saying: "Thou shalt not go up to the Land of Nephi, for behold, the king will seek thy life; But thou shalt go to the Land of Middoni, for behold, thy brother Aaron and also Muloki and Ammah are in prison."
Alma 12:183 Now it came to pass that when Ammon had heard this, he saith unto Lamoni: "Behold, my brother and brethren are in prison at Middoni and I go that I may deliver them."
Alma 12:184 Now Lamoni saith unto Ammon: "I know in the strength of the Lord thou canst do all things; But behold, I will go with thee to the Land of Middoni, for the king of the Land of Middoni, whose name is Antiomno, is a friend unto me;
Alma 12:191 And behold, the father of Lamoni saith unto him: "Why did ye not come to the feast on that great day when I made a feast unto my sons and unto my people?"
Alma 12:195 And now when Lamoni had rehearsed unto him all these things, behold, to his astonishment his father was angry with him and saith: "Lamoni, thou art going to deliver these Nephites which are sons of a liar!
Alma 12:196 Behold, he robbed our fathers, And now his children are also come amongst us that they may by their cunning and their lyings deceive us, that they again may rob us of our property."
Alma 12:201 But Ammon stood forth and saith unto him: "Behold, thou shalt not slay thy son; Nevertheless, it were better that he should fall than thee,
Alma 12:202 For behold, he hath repented of his sins; But if thou shouldst fall at this time in thine anger, thy soul could not be saved.
Alma 12:207 But Ammon raised his sword and said unto him: "Behold, I will smite thee except thou wilt grant unto me that my brethren may be cast out of prison."
Alma 12:212 "Because this is all that thou hast desired, that I would release thy brethren and suffer that my son Lamoni should retain his kingdom, Behold, I will grant unto you that my son may retain his kingdom from this time and forever; And I will govern him no more.
Alma 12:217 And when Ammon did meet them he was exceeding sorrowful, For behold, they were naked and their skins were worn exceedingly because of being bound with strong cords.
Alma 13:1 Now when Ammon and his brethren separated themselves in the borders of the land of the Lamanites, Behold, Aaron took his journey toward the land which was called by the Lamanites, Jerusalem, calling it after the land of their fathers' nativity; And it was away joining the borders of Mormon;
Alma 13:6 Therefore, as Aaron entered into one of their synagogues to preach unto the people, and as he was speaking unto them, Behold, there arose an Amalekite and began to contend with him, saying:
Alma 13:7 "What is that, that thou hast testified? Hast thou seen an angel? Why do not angels appear unto us? Behold, are not this people as good as thy people? Thou also sayest except we repent, we shall perish;
Alma 13:9 Behold, we have built sanctuaries and we do assemble ourselves together to worship God; We do believe that God will save all men."
Alma 13:32 And it came to pass that he went in unto him, into the king's palace with his brethren, and bowed himself before the king and said unto him: "Behold, O king, we are the brethren of Ammon whom thou hast delivered out of prison; And now, O king, if thou wilt spare our lives, we will be thy servants."
Alma 13:35 And Aaron saith unto the king: "Behold, the Spirit of the Lord hath called him another way; He hath gone to the Land of Ishmael to teach the people of Lamoni."
Alma 13:36 Now the king saith unto them: "What is this that ye have said concerning the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, this is the thing which doth trouble me;
Alma 13:39 And the king saith: "I know that the Amalekites say that there is a God, And I have granted unto them that they should build sanctuaries, that they might assemble themselves together to worship Him; And if now thou sayest there is a God, behold, I will believe."
Alma 13:40 And now when Aaron heard this, his heart began to rejoice and he saith: "Behold, assuredly as thou livest, O king, there is a God."
Alma 13:50 Behold, saith he: "I will give up all that I possess; Yea, I will forsake my kingdom that I may receive this great joy."
Alma 13:58 and they pled with the queen, saying: "Why commandest thou that we should slay these men when behold, one of them is mightier than us all? Therefore, we shall fall before them."
Alma 14:1 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 neither of their brethren which should go forth preaching the word of God in whatsoever place they should be, in any part of their land.
Alma 14:30 "And behold, I thank my great God that He has given us a portion of His Spirit to soften our hearts, that we have opened a correspondence with these brethren, the Nephites.
Alma 14:31 "And behold, I also thank my God that by opening this correspondence, We have been convinced of our sins and of the many murders which we have committed.
Alma 14:33 "And now behold, my brethren, since it has been all that we could do - as we were the most lost of all mankind - to repent of all our sins and the many murders which we have committed and to get God to take them away from our hearts - For it was all we could do to repent sufficiently before God that He would take away our stain -
Alma 14:35 "Behold, I say unto you, Nay; Let us retain our swords, that they be not stained with the blood of our brethren,
Alma 14:39 "And now behold, since it has been as much as we could do to get our stains taken away from us and our swords are made bright,
Alma 14:41 "And now my brethren, if our brethren seek to destroy us, behold, we will hide away our swords, Yea, even we will bury them deep in the earth, that they may be kept bright as a testimony that we have never used them, at the last day; And if our brethren destroy us, behold, we shall go to our God and shall be saved."
Alma 14:59 And behold, now it came to pass that those Lamanites were more angry because they had slain their brethren, Therefore, they swore vengeance upon the Nephites;
Alma 14:68 And behold, they are hunted at this day by the Lamanites. Thus the words of Abinadi were brought to pass which he said concerning the seed of the priests which caused that he should suffer death by fire;
Alma 14:72 And now behold, these words were verified, for they were driven by the Lamanites and they were hunted and they were smitten.
Alma 14:78 And now behold, Ammon and Aaron and Omner and Himni and their brethren did rejoice exceedingly for the success which they had had among the Lamanites, seeing that the Lord had granted unto them according to their prayers, And that He had also verified His word unto them in every particular.
Alma 14:79 And now these are the words of Ammon to his brethren, which saith thus: "My brothers and my brethren, behold I say unto you, how great reason have we to rejoice, For could we have supposed when we started from the Land of Zarahemla that God would have granted unto us such great blessings?
Alma 14:81 Behold, I answer for you - For our brethren, the Lamanites, were in darkness, yea, even in the darkest abyss, But behold how many of them are brought to behold the marvelous light of God!
Alma 14:83 "Behold, thousands of them do rejoice and have been brought into the fold of God;
Alma 14:84 Behold, the field was ripe, And blessed are ye, for ye did thrust in the sickle and did reap with your mights, Yea, all the day long did ye labor.
Alma 14:85 "And behold the number of your sheaves, And they shall be gathered into the garners, that they are not wasted, Yea, they shall not be beaten down by the storm at the last day,
Alma 14:87 But behold, they are in the hands of the Lord of the harvest and they are His and He will raise them up at the last day.
Alma 14:91 But Ammon saith unto him: "I do not boast in my own strength or in my own wisdom, But behold, my joy is full! Yea, my heart is brim with joy and I will rejoice in my God!
Alma 14:92 Yea, I know that I am nothing; As to my strength, I am weak; Therefore, I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, For in His strength I can do all things."Yea, behold how many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise His name forever!
Alma 14:93 "Behold how many thousands of our brethren hath He loosed from the pains of hell and they are brought to sing redeeming love! And this because of the power of His word which is in us, Therefore, have we not great reason to rejoice?
Alma 14:95 Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction, But behold, He hath brought them into His everlasting light, yea, into everlasting salvation, And they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of His love.
Alma 14:97 "Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of His great power and of His mercy and of His longsuffering toward the children of men? Behold I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel.
Alma 14:99 Behold, we went forth, even in wrath, with mighty threatenings, to destroy His church; O then, why did He not consign us to an awful destruction? Yea, why did He not let the sword of His justice fall upon us and doom us to eternal despair?
Alma 14:101 Behold, He did not exercise His justice upon us, But in His great mercy hath brought us over that everlasting gulf of death and misery, even to the salvation of our souls.
Alma 14:102 "And now behold, my brethren, what natural man is there that knoweth these things? I say unto you, there is none that knoweth these things, save it be the penitent -
Alma 14:110 "But behold, my beloved brethren, we came into the wilderness, not with the intent to destroy our brethren, but with the intent that perhaps we might save some few of their souls.
Alma 14:111 "Now when our hearts were depressed and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us and said: 'Go amongst thy brethren the Lamanites and bear with patience thine afflictions, And I will give unto thee success.'
Alma 14:112 "And now behold, we have come and been forth amongst them, And we have been patient in our sufferings, And we have suffered every privation; Yea, we have traveled from house to house, relying upon the mercies of the world - not upon the mercies of the world alone, but upon the mercies of God;
Alma 14:116 "Now behold, we can look forth and see the fruits of our labors; And are they few?
Alma 14:118 "For behold, they had rather sacrifice their lives than even to take the life of their enemy; And they have buried their weapons of war deep in the earth because of their love toward their brethren.
Alma 14:119 "And now behold I say unto you, has there been so great love in all the land?
Alma 14:120 Behold I say unto you, nay, there has not, even among the Nephites;
Alma 14:121 For behold, they would take up arms against their brethren, they would not suffer themselves to be slain;
Alma 14:122 But behold how many of these have laid down their lives; And we know that they have gone to their God because of their love and of their hatred to sin.
Alma 15:7 But the king saith unto them: "Behold, the Nephites will destroy us because of the many murders and sins we have committed against them."
Alma 15:15 And it came to pass that Ammon saith unto them: "Behold, I and my brethren will go forth into the Land of Zarahemla and ye shall remain here until we return; And we will try the hearts of our brethren, whether they will that ye shall come into their land."
Alma 15:16 And it came to pass that as Ammon was going forth into the land, that he and his brethren met Alma over in the place of which has been spoken; And behold, this was a joyful meeting.
Alma 15:18 Now was not this exceeding joy? Behold, this is joy which none receiveth, save it be the truly penitent and humble seeker of happiness;
Alma 15:19 Now the joy of Alma in meeting his brethren was truly great, And also the joy of Aaron, of Omner and Himni; But behold, their joy was not that to exceed their strength.
Alma 15:23 And it came to pass that the voice of the people came, saying: "Behold, we will give up the Land of Jershon which is on the east by the sea, which joins the Land Bountiful, which is on the south of the Land Bountiful; And this Land Jershon is the land which we will give unto our brethren for an inheritance.
Alma 15:24 "And behold, we will set our armies between the Land Jershon and the Land Nephi, that we may protect our brethren in the Land of Jershon;
Alma 15:26 "And now behold, this will we do unto our brethren that they may inherit the Land Jershon; And we will guard them from their enemies by our armies on conditions that they will give us a portion of their substance to assist us, that we may maintain our armies."
Alma 15:36 And now it came to pass that after the people of Ammon were established in the Land of Jershon, and a church also established in the Land of Jershon, And the armies of the Nephites were set round about the Land of Jershon, yea, in all the borders round about the Land of Zarahemla, Behold, the armies of the Lamanites had followed their brethren into the wilderness;
Alma 15:54 But behold, I am a man and do sin in my wish, For I had ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me;
Alma 15:59 For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach His word, yea, in wisdom all that He seeth fit that they should have; Therefore, we see that the Lord doth counsel in His wisdom according to that which is just and true.
Alma 15:62 And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy, Then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that He hath heard my prayer, Yea, then do I remember His merciful arm which He extended toward me.
Alma 15:66 Behold, they have labored exceedingly and have brought forth much fruit; And how great shall be their reward.
Alma 16:1 Behold, now it came to pass that after the people of Ammon were established in the Land of Jershon, Yea, and also after the Lamanites were driven out of the land and their dead were buried by the people of the land -
Alma 16:15 "Behold, these things which ye call prophecies, which ye say are handed down by holy prophets, Behold, they are foolish traditions of your fathers; How do ye know of their surety?
Alma 16:16 Behold, ye cannot know of things which ye do not see, Therefore, ye cannot know that there shall be a Christ.
Alma 16:17 "Ye look forward and say that ye see a remission of your sins; But behold, it is the effects of a frenzied mind, And this derangement of your minds comes because of the tradition of your fathers which lead you away into a belief of things which are not so."
Alma 16:21 But behold, they were more wise than many of the Nephites, for they took him and bound him and carried him before Ammon, which was a high priest over that people;
Alma 16:29 "Ye say that this people is a free people; Behold, I say they are in bondage.
Alma 16:30 "Ye say that those ancient prophecies are true; Behold, I say that ye do not know that they are true.
Alma 16:31 "Ye say that this people is a guilty and a fallen people because of the transgression of a parent; Behold, I say that a child is not guilty because of its parents.
Alma 16:32 "And ye also say that Christ shall come; But behold, I say that ye do not know that there shall be a Christ;
Alma 16:40 Now Alma saith unto him: "Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this people, For behold, I have labored, even from the commencement of the reign of the judges until now, with mine own hands for my support; Notwithstanding my many travels round about the land to declare the word of God unto my people,
Alma 16:47 Now Alma saith unto him: "If ye deny again that there is a God, and also deny the Christ - For behold, I say unto you, I know there is a God, and also that Christ shall come -
Alma 16:49 But behold, I have all things as a testimony that these things are true, And ye also have all things as a testimony unto you that they are true; And will ye deny them?
Alma 16:51 Behold, I know that thou believest, But thou art possessed with a lying spirit; And ye have put off the Spirit of God, that it may have no place in you, But the devil hath power over you; And he doth carry you about, working devices that he may destroy the people of God."
Alma 16:57 And now it came to pass that Alma said unto him: "Behold, I am grieved because of the hardness of your heart, Yea, that ye will still resist the Spirit of the truth that thy soul may be destroyed;
Alma 16:58 But behold, it is better that thy soul should be lost than that thou shouldst be the means of bringing many souls down to destruction by thy lying and by thy flattering words;
Alma 16:59 Therefore, if thou shalt deny again, Behold, God shall smite thee, that thou shalt become dumb, that thou shalt never open thy mouth anymore, that thou shalt not deceive this people anymore."
Alma 16:65 Now behold, He hath showed unto you a sign, And now, will ye dispute more?"
Alma 16:67 "But behold, the devil hath deceived me, For he appeared unto me in the form of an angel and said unto me, ' Go and reclaim this people, for they have all gone astray after an Unknown God ';
Alma 16:76 And it came to pass that as he went forth among the people - Yea, among a people which had separated themselves from the Nephites and called themselves Zoramites, being led by a man whose name was Zoram - And as he went forth amongst them, behold, he was run upon and trodden down, even until he was dead.
Alma 16:88 Now when they had come into the land, Behold, to their astonishment, they found that the Zoramites had built synagogues, And that they did gather themselves together on one day of the week, which day they did call the day of the Lord;
Alma 16:96 For behold, every man did go forth and offer up these same prayers.
Alma 16:102 And he lifted up his voice to heaven and cried, saying: "O how long, O Lord, wilt Thou suffer that Thy servants shall dwell here below in the flesh to behold such gross wickedness among the children of men?
Alma 16:103 "Behold, O God, they cry unto Thee, And yet their hearts are swallowed up in their pride.
Alma 16:104 "Behold, O God, they cry unto Thee with their mouths while they are puffed up, even to greatness, with the vain things of the world.
Alma 16:105 "Behold, O my God, their costly apparel, and their ringlets and their bracelets, and their ornaments of gold, and all their precious things which they are ornamented with;
Alma 16:106 And behold, their hearts are set upon them, And yet they cry unto Thee and say, 'We thank Thee, O God, for we are a chosen people unto Thee, ' while others shall perish.
Alma 16:115 "Behold, O Lord, their souls are precious and many of them are our near brethren; Therefore, give unto us, O Lord, power and wisdom that we may bring these our brethren again unto Thee."
Alma 16:117 And behold, as he clapped his hands upon them, they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
Alma 16:122 And it came to pass that after much labor among them, they began to have success among the poorer class of the people; For behold, they were cast out of the synagogues because of the coarseness of their apparel,
Alma 16:125 And they came unto Alma, And the one which was the most foremost among them saith unto him: "Behold, what shall these my brethren do? For they are despised of all men because of their poverty, yea, and more especially by our priests;
Alma 16:126 For they have cast us out of our synagogues which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands, And they have cast us out because of this our exceeding poverty, that we have no place to worship our God; And behold, what shall we do?"
Alma 16:128 Therefore, he did say no more to the other multitude, But he stretched forth his hand and cried unto those which he beheld, which were truly penitent, and saith unto them: "I behold that ye are lowly in heart and, if so, blessed are ye.
Alma 16:129 "Behold, thy brother hath said, 'What shall we do, for we are cast out of our synagogues that we cannot worship our God?'
Alma 16:130 "Behold, I say unto you, do ye suppose that ye cannot worship God save it be in your synagogues only?
Alma 16:140 "Now I ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay, For if a man knoweth a thing, he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it.
Alma 16:142 "Behold, I say unto you that it is on the one hand even as it is on the other, And it shall be unto every man according to his work.
Alma 16:144 "And now behold I say unto you, and I would that ye should remember that God is merciful unto all who believe on His name; Therefore, He desireth in the first place that ye should believe, yea, even on His word.
Alma 16:151 "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, Yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, Even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.
Alma 16:153 "Now, if ye give place that a seed may be planted in your heart, Behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed - if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord - Behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts;
Alma 16:155 "Now behold, would not this increase your faith? I say unto you, Yea; Nevertheless, it hath not grown up to a perfect knowledge.
Alma 16:156 "But behold, as the seed swelleth and sprouteth and beginneth to grow - And then ye must needs say that the seed is good, For behold, it swelleth and sprouteth and beginneth to grow -
Alma 16:157 And now behold, will not this strengthen your faith? Yea, it will strengthen your faith, For ye will say, 'I know that this is a good seed, For behold, it sprouteth and beginneth to grow.'
Alma 16:158 "And now behold, are ye sure that this is a good seed? I say unto you, yea, for every seed bringeth forth unto its own likeness; Therefore, if a seed groweth, it is good, But if it groweth not, behold, it is not good, Therefore, it is cast away.
Alma 16:159 "And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment and planted the seed and it swelleth and sprouteth and beginneth to grow, Ye must needs know that the seed is good.
Alma 16:160 "And now behold, is your knowledge perfect? Yea, your knowledge is perfect in that thing and your faith is dormant;
Alma 16:163 "And now behold, after ye have tasted this light, is your knowledge perfect? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; Neither must ye lay aside your faith, For ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed, that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed were good.
Alma 16:164 "And behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say: 'Let us nourish it with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up and bring forth fruit unto us.'
Alma 16:165 "And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care, it will get root and grow up and bring forth fruit;
Alma 16:166 But if ye neglect the tree and take no thought for its nourishment, Behold, it will not get any root; And when the heat of the sun cometh and scorcheth it, and because it hath no root, it withereth away, And ye pluck it up and cast it out.
Alma 16:170 But if ye will nourish the word - Yea, nourish the tree as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence and with patience - looking forward to the fruit thereof, And it shall take root; And behold, it shall be a tree springing up unto everlasting life!
Alma 16:171 "And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, Behold, by and by, ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure,
Alma 16:175 And Alma saith unto them: "Behold, ye have said that ye could not worship your God because ye are cast out of your synagogues.
Alma 16:176 "But behold, I say unto you, if ye say that ye cannot worship your God, ye do greatly err and ye had ought to search the scriptures, For if ye suppose that they have taught you this, ye do not understand them.
Alma 16:186 Behold, if ye do, ye must believe what Zenos saith, For behold, he saith, 'Thou hast turned away Thy judgments because of Thy Son.'
Alma 16:187 "Now behold, my brethren, I would ask, If ye have read these scriptures, how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God?
Alma 16:188 For it is not written that Zenos alone spake of these things, But Zenoch also spake of these things, For behold, he saith: 'Thou art angry, O Lord, with this people, Because they will not understand of Thy mercies which Thou hast bestowed upon them, because of Thy Son.'
Alma 16:190 "But behold, this is not all - these are not the only ones which have spoken concerning the Son of God -
Alma 16:191 Behold, He was spoken of by Moses; Yea, and behold, a type was raised up in the wilderness that whosoever would look upon it might live, And many did look and live;
Alma 16:195 "O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might behold, would ye not behold quickly? Or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes that ye might perish?
Alma 16:199 And behold, it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life;
Alma 16:206 "And now behold, I will testify unto you of myself that these things are true;
Alma 16:207 Behold, I say unto you that I do know that Christ shall come among the children of men to take upon Him the transgressions of His people, And that He shall atone for the sins of the world, For the Lord God hath spoken it.
Alma 16:212 "Now if a man murdereth, behold, will our law, which is just, take the life of his brother? I say unto you, Nay,
Alma 16:215 "And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit a pointing to that great and last sacrifice, And that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal. "And thus He shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe on His name,
Alma 16:223 "And now behold, my brethren, I say unto you, do not suppose that this is all, For after ye have done all these things, If ye turn away the needy and the naked, and visit not the sick and afflicted and impart of your substance, if ye have, to those which stand in need -
Alma 16:224 I say unto you, if ye do not any of these things, Behold, your prayer is vain and availeth you nothing, And ye are as hypocrites which do deny the faith;
Alma 16:227 Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; For behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; And therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, Immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you;
Alma 16:228 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; Yea, behold, the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.
Alma 16:230 For after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, Behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
Alma 16:233 "For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance, even until death, Behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, And he doth seal you his;
Alma 16:238 And that ye live in thanksgiving daily for the many mercies and blessings which He doth bestow upon you."Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye be watchful unto prayer continually, That ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil, That he may not overpower you, That ye may not become his subjects at the last day; For behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.
Alma 17:3 And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, And, therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; For I do know that whomsoever shall put his trust in God shall be supported in their trials and their troubles and their afflictions and shall be lifted up at the last day;
Alma 17:5 Now behold, I say unto you, if I had not been born of God, I should not have known these things; But God hath by the mouth of His holy angel made these things known unto me, Not of any worthiness of myself, for I went about with the sons of Mosiah seeking to destroy the church of God; But behold, God sent His holy angel to stop us by the way;
Alma 17:6 And behold, he spake unto us as it were the voice of thunder, And the whole earth did tremble beneath our feet, And we all fell to the earth, for the fear of the Lord came upon us.
Alma 17:7 But behold, the voice said unto me, "Arise!" And I arose and stood up and beheld the angel, And he said unto me: "If thou wilt of thyself be destroyed, seek no more to destroy the church of God!"
Alma 17:15 And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment - while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins - Behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.
Alma 17:17 And now behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more, Yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more;
Alma 17:18 And O, what joy and what marvelous light I did behold! Yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain; Yea, I say unto you my son, that there can be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains;
Alma 17:21 But behold, my limbs did receive their strength again, And I stood upon my feet and did manifest unto the people that I had been born of God;
Alma 17:23 Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceeding great joy in the fruits of my labors, For because of the word which He hath imparted unto me, Behold, many hath been born of God, and hath tasted, as I have tasted, and hath seen eye to eye, as I have seen;
Alma 17:29 But behold, my son, this is not all - For ye had ought to know, as I do know, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God, ye shall prosper in the land,
Alma 17:33 And behold, it hath been prophesied by our fathers that they should be kept and handed down from one generation to another and be kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord, Until they shall go forth unto every nation, kindred, tongue and people, that they shall know of the mysteries contained thereon.
Alma 17:34 And now behold, if they are kept, they must retain their brightness, Yea, and they will retain their brightness, Yea, and also shall all the plates which do contain that which is holy writ.
Alma 17:35 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; But behold, I say unto you that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass, And small means, in many instances, doth confound the wise;
Alma 17:37 And now, it hath hitherto been wisdom in God that these things should be preserved; For behold, they have enlarged the memory of this people, Yea, and convinced many of the error of their ways, And brought them to the knowledge of their God, unto the salvation of their souls;
Alma 17:46 And now behold, I tell you by the spirit of prophecy that if ye trangress the commandments of God, Behold, these things which are sacred shall be taken away from you by the power of God, And ye shall be delivered up unto Satan that he may sift you as chaff before the wind;
Alma 17:47 But if ye keep the commandments of God and do with these things which are sacred, according to that which the Lord doth command you - for you must appeal unto the Lord for all things whatsoever ye must do with them - Behold, no power of earth or hell can take them from you; For God is powerful to the fulfilling of all His words,
Alma 17:50 And now behold, one purpose hath He fulfilled, even to the restoration of many thousands of the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth; And He hath shown forth His power in them, And He will also still show forth His power in them unto future generations, Therefore, they shall be preserved;
Alma 17:54 For, behold, the Lord saw that His people began to work in darkness, yea, work secret murders and abominations; Therefore, the Lord said if they did not repent, they should be destroyed from off the face of the earth.
Alma 17:60 For behold, there is a curse upon all this land that destruction shall come upon all those workers of darkness - according to the power of God - when they are fully ripe. Therefore, I desire that this people might not be destroyed;
Alma 17:63 For behold, they murdered all the prophets of the Lord which came among them to declare unto them concerning their iniquities, And the blood of those which they murdered did cry unto the Lord their God for vengeance upon those which were their murderers.
Alma 17:72 And behold, there cannot any man work after the manner of so curious a workmanship,
Alma 17:73 And behold, it was prepared to show unto our fathers the course which they should travel in the wilderness. And it did work for them according to their faith in God;
Alma 17:74 Therefore, if they had faith to believe that God could cause that those spindles should point the way they should go, Behold, it was done; Therefore, they had this miracle, and also many other miracles wrought by the power of God, day by day;
Alma 17:79 For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a strait course to eternal bliss, As it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a strait course to the Promised Land.
Alma 18:7 But behold, the Lord in His great mercy sent His angel to declare unto me that I must stop the work of destruction among His people;
Alma 18:10 But behold, I did cry unto Him, And I did find peace to my soul.
Alma 18:12 Behold, He is the life and the light of the world; Behold, He is the word of truth and righteousness.
Alma 19:1 And now my son, I have somewhat more to say unto thee than what I said unto thy brother; For behold, have ye not observed the steadiness of thy brother, his faithfulness and his diligence in keeping the commandments of God?
Alma 19:2 Behold, has he not set a good example for thee?
Alma 19:8 For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once hath had place in you - And ye know that ye deny it - Behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable.
Alma 19:12 But behold, ye cannot hide your crimes from God, And except ye repent, they will stand as a testimony against you at the last day.
Alma 19:15 And I command you to take it upon you to counsel your elder brothers in your undertakings, For behold, thou art in thy youth and ye stand in need to be nourished by your brothers;
Alma 19:17 Behold, O my son, how great iniquity ye brought upon the Zoramites! For when they saw your conduct, they would not believe in my words.
Alma 19:20 But rather return unto them and acknowledge your faults and retain that wrong which ye have done; Seek not after riches nor the vain things of this world, For behold, you cannot carry them with you.
Alma 19:22 Behold, I say unto you that it is He that surely shall come to take away the sins of the world, Yea, He cometh to declare glad tidings of salvation unto His people.
Alma 19:24 And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject. Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand;
Alma 19:25 Behold, I say unto you, is not a soul at this time as precious unto God as a soul will be at the time of His coming?
Alma 19:29 Behold, I say unto you that there is no resurrection - Or I would say in other words, that this mortal does not put on immortality, this corruption does not put on incorruption - Until after the coming of Christ;
Alma 19:30 Behold, He bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; But behold, my son, the resurrection is not yet.
Alma 19:33 Behold, there is a time appointed that all shall come forth from the dead,
Alma 19:43 Behold, it hath been made known unto me by an angel that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, Yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.
Alma 19:45 And then shall it come to pass that the spirits of the wicked, yea, which are evil - For behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord, For behold, they chose evil works rather than good, Therefore, the spirit of the devil did enter into them and take possession of their house -
Alma 19:50 And behold, again it hath been spoken that there is a first resurrection - A resurrection of all those which have been, or which are, or which shall be, down to the resurrection of Christ from the dead.
Alma 19:52 Behold, I say unto you, Nay, But it meaneth the reuniting of the soul with the body of those from the days of Adam down to the resurrection of Christ.
Alma 19:55 Now my son, I do not say that their resurrection cometh at the resurrection of Christ, But behold, I give it as my opinion that the souls and the bodies are reunited of the righteous at the resurrection of Christ and His ascension into heaven;
Alma 19:60 But behold, an awful death cometh upon the wicked, For they die as to things pertaining to things of righteousness, For they are unclean and no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God;
Alma 19:62 And now my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the restoration of which has been spoken, For behold, some have wrested the scriptures and have gone far astray because of this thing;
Alma 19:63 And I perceive that thy mind hath been worried also concerning this thing, But behold, I will explain it unto thee.
Alma 19:65 Behold, it is requisite and just, according to the power and resurrection of Christ, that the soul of man should be restored to its body, And that every part of the body should be restored to itself.
Alma 19:70 These are they that are redeemed of the Lord, Yea, these are they that are taken out, that are delivered from that endless night of darkness. And thus they stand or fall, For behold, they are their own judges, whether to do good or do evil.
Alma 19:72 And now behold, my son, do not risk one more offense against your God upon those points of doctrine which ye hath hitherto risked to commit sin;
Alma 19:74 Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness.
Alma 19:76 And now behold, is the meaning of the word "restoration" to take a thing of a natural state and place it in an unnatural state, or to place it in a state opposite to its nature?
Alma 19:82 Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee. For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden to till the ground, from whence he was taken, Yea, He drove out the man and He placed at the east end of the garden of Eden cherubim and flaming sword which turned every way to keep the tree of life -
Alma 19:85 For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately and partook of the tree of life, He would have lived forever, according to the word of God, having no space for repentance;
Alma 19:87 But behold, it was appointed unto man to die; Therefore, as they were cut off from the tree of life, Therefore, they should be cut off from the face of the earth and man became lost forever; Yea, they became fallen man.
Alma 19:89 Now behold, it was not expedient that man should be reclaimed from this temporal death, For that would destroy the great plan of happiness;
Alma 19:106 And thus they are restored into His presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice; For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, And also mercy claimeth all which is her own; And thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.
Alma 19:111 If he hath desired to do evil and hath not repented in his days, Behold, evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God.
Alma 20:4 For behold, it came to pass that the Zoramites became Lamanites; Therefore, in the commencement of the eighteenth year, the people of the Nephites saw that the Lamanites were coming upon them, Therefore, they made preparations for war, Yea, they gathered together their armies in the Land of Jershon.
Alma 20:8 For behold, his designs were to stir up the Lamanites to anger against the Nephites; And this he did that he might usurp great power over them, And also that he might gain power over the Nephites by bringing them into bondage, etc.
Alma 20:17 And it came to pass as the armies of the Lamanites had gathered together in the Land of Antionum, Behold, the armies of the Nephites were prepared to meet them in the Land of Jershon.
Alma 20:25 Behold, now it came to pass that they durst not come against the Nephites in the borders of Jershon; Therefore, they departed out of the Land of Antionum into the wilderness and took their journey round about in the wilderness, away by the head of the River Sidon, that they might come into the Land of Manti and take possession of the land, For they did not suppose that the armies of Moroni would know whither they had gone.
Alma 20:58 Therefore, the armies of Moroni encircled them about, yea, even on both sides of the river, For behold, on the east were the men of Lehi;
Alma 20:62 And Moroni said unto Zerahemnah: "Behold, Zerahemnah, that we do not desire to be men of blood;
Alma 20:64 "Behold, we have not come out to battle against you, that we might shed your blood for power, Neither do we desire to bring anyone to the yoke of bondage;
Alma 20:66 "But now, ye behold that the Lord is with us, And ye behold that He hath delivered you into our hands.
Alma 20:72 "And now if ye do not this, behold, ye are in our hands, And I will command my men that they shall fall upon you and inflict the wounds of death in your bodies, that ye may become extinct;
Alma 20:75 "Behold, here are our weapons of war - We will deliver them up unto you and we will not suffer ourselves to take an oath unto you, which we know that we shall break, and also our children; But take our weapons of war and suffer that we may depart into the wilderness, Otherwise we will retain our swords and we will perish or conquer.
Alma 20:76 "Behold, we are not of your faith; We do not believe that it is God that hath delivered us into your hands, But we believe it is your cunning that hath preserved you from our swords;
Alma 20:77 Behold, it is your breastplates and your shields that hath preserved you."
Alma 20:78 And now, when Zerahemnah had made an end of speaking these words, Moroni returned the sword and the weapons of war which he had received unto Zerahemnah, saying: "Behold, we will end the conflict;
Alma 20:82 But as he raised his sword, behold, one of Moroni's soldiers smote it even to the earth and it broke by the hilt, And he also smote Zerahemnah that he took off his scalp and it fell to the earth;
Alma 20:91 But behold, their naked skins and their bare heads were exposed to the sharp swords of the Nephites, Yea, behold, they were pierced and smitten,
Alma 21:1 Behold, now it came to pass that the people of Nephi were exceedingly rejoiced because the Lord had again delivered them out of the hands of their enemies;
Alma 21:8 "But behold, I have somewhat to prophesy unto thee, But what I prophesy unto thee, ye shall not make known, Yea, what I prophesy unto thee shall not be made known, even until the prophecy is fulfilled; Therefore, write the words which I shall say."
Alma 21:9 And these are the words: "Behold, I perceive that this very people, the Nephites, according to the spirit of revelation which is in me, In four hundred years from the time that Jesus Christ shall manifest Himself unto them, shall dwindle in unbelief.
Alma 21:13 "And when that great day cometh, behold, the time very soon cometh that those which are now - Or the seed of those which are now numbered among the people of the Nephites - shall no more be numbered among the people of Nephi;
Alma 21:21 Behold, this we know - that he was a righteous man, And the saying went abroad in the church that he was taken up by the Spirit, Or buried by the hand of the Lord, even as Moses.
Alma 21:22 But behold, the scripture saith the Lord took Moses unto Himself, And we suppose that He hath also received Alma in the spirit unto Himself, Therefore, for this cause we know nothing concerning his death and burial.
Alma 21:24 For behold, because of their wars with the Lamanites, and the many little dissensions and disturbances which had been among the people, It became expedient that the word of God should be declared among them, Yea, and that a regulation should be made throughout the church;
Alma 21:30 And now behold, they were exceeding wroth, insomuch that they were determined to slay them.
Alma 21:49 "Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, Let them come forth in the strength of the Lord and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them."
Alma 21:50 And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, Behold, the people came running together with their armors girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God -
Alma 21:54 Moroni saith unto them: "Behold, we are a remnant of the seed of Jacob, Yea, we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph whose coat was rent by his brethren into many pieces;
Alma 21:55 Yea, and now behold, let us remember to keep the commandments of God, Or our garments shall be rent by our brethren and we be cast into prison or be sold or be slain; Yea, let us preserve our liberty, as a remnant of Joseph;
Alma 21:56 Yea, let us remember the words of Jacob before his death, For behold, he saw that a part of the remnant of the coat of Joseph was preserved and had not decayed.
Alma 21:58 'Now behold, this giveth my soul sorrow; Nevertheless, my soul hath joy in my son because that part of his seed which shall be taken unto God.'
Alma 21:59 "Now behold, this was the language of Jacob;
Alma 21:78 Now I will return in our record to Amalickiah and those which had fled with him into the wilderness. For behold, he had taken those which went with him and went up into 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.
Alma 21:82 Now behold, this was the desire of Amalickiah; For he being a very subtle man to do evil, Therefore, he laid the plan in his heart to dethrone the king of the Lamanites.
Alma 21:87 Now it was not Amalickiah's intention to give them battle, according to the commandments of the king, But behold, it was his intention to gain favor with the armies of the Lamanites, that he might place himself at their head and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.
Alma 21:88 And behold, it came to pass that he caused his army to pitch their tents in the valley which was near the Mount Antipas.
Alma 21:103 But behold, as the king came out to meet him, Amalickiah caused that his servants should go forth to meet the king;
Alma 21:106 And it came to pass that when he had raised the first from the ground, Behold, he stabbed the king to the heart and he fell to the earth.
Alma 21:107 Now the servants of the king fled, And the servants of Amalickiah raised a cry, saying: "Behold, the servants of the king have stabbed him to the heart! And he has fallen and they have fled; Behold, come and see."
Alma 21:140 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been and were and ever would be like unto Moroni, Behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever, Yea, the devil would never have any power over the hearts of the children of men;
Alma 21:141 Behold, he was a man like unto Ammon, the son of Mosiah, Yea, and even the other sons of Mosiah, Yea, and also Alma and his sons, for they were all men of God.
Alma 21:142 Now behold, Helaman and his brethren were no less serviceable unto the people than was Moroni, For they did preach the word of God, And they did baptize unto repentance all men whosoever would hearken unto their words.
Alma 21:150 And behold, the city had been rebuilt; And Moroni had stationed an army by the borders of the city, And they had cast up dirt round about to shield them from the arrows and the stones of the Lamanites, For behold, they fought with stones and with arrows.
Alma 21:151 Behold, I said that the City of Ammonihah had been rebuilt - I say unto you, yea, that it was in part rebuilt - And because the Lamanites had destroyed it once because of the iniquity of the people, they supposed that it would again become an easy prey for them.
Alma 21:152 But behold, how great was their disappointment, For behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect, Neither could they come upon them, save it was by their place of entrance.
Alma 21:157 But behold, to their uttermost astonishment, they were prepared for them in a manner which never had been known among all the children of Lehi.
Alma 21:160 Now if King Amalickiah had come down out of the Land of Nephi at the head of his army, Perhaps he would have caused the Lamanites to have attacked the Nephites at the City of Ammonihah, For behold, he did care not for the blood of his people.
Alma 21:161 But behold, Amalickiah did not come down himself to battle;
Alma 21:162 And behold, his chief captains durst not attack the Nephites at the City of Ammonihah, For Moroni had altered the management of affairs among the Nephites insomuch that the Lamanites were disappointed in their places of retreat, And they could not come upon them,
Alma 21:166 But behold, to their astonishment, the City of Noah - which had hitherto been a weak place - had now, by the means of Moroni, become strong, yea, even to exceed the strength of the City Ammonihah.
Alma 21:167 And now behold, this was wisdom in Moroni, For he had supposed that they would be frightened at the City Ammonihah, And as the City of Noah had hitherto been the weakest part of the land, Therefore, they would march thither to battle; And thus it was according to his desires.
Alma 21:168 And behold, Moroni had appointed Lehi to be chief captain over the men of that city, And it was that same Lehi which fought with the Lamanites in the valley on the east of the River Sidon.
Alma 21:169 And now behold, it came to pass that when the Lamanites had found that Lehi commanded the city, They were again disappointed, for they feared Lehi exceedingly; Nevertheless, their chief captains had sworn with an oath to attack the city, Therefore, they brought up their armies.
Alma 21:170 Now behold, the Lamanites could not get into their forts of security by any other way, save by the entrance, Because of the highness of the bank which had been thrown up and the depth of the ditch which had been dug round about, save it were by the entrance.
Alma 21:174 But behold, they were driven back, from time to time, insomuch that they were slain with an immense slaughter.
Alma 21:176 But behold, in these attempts, they were swept off by the stones and the arrows which were thrown at them, And instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth, they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.
Alma 22:20 Yea, we can behold that His words are verified, even at this time, which He spake unto Lehi, saying: "Blessed art thou and thy children; And they shall be blessed, and inasmuch as they shall keep My commandments, They shall prosper in the land;
Alma 22:24 But behold, there never was a happier time among the people of Nephi since the days of Nephi than in the days of Moroni, Yea, even at this time in the twenty and first year of the reign of the judges.
Alma 22:27 For behold, the people which possessed the Land of Morionton did claim a part of the Land of Lehi; Therefore, there began to be a warm contention between them, insomuch that the people of Morionton took up arms against their brethren, And they were determined by the sword to slay them.
Alma 22:28 But behold, the people which possessed the Land of Lehi fled to the camp of Moroni and appealed unto him for assistance, For behold, they were not in the wrong.
Alma 22:31 And behold, they would have carried this plan into effect, which would have been a cause to have been lamented, But behold, Morionton, being a man of much passion, Therefore, he was angry with one of his maidservants and he fell upon her and beat her much.
Alma 22:33 Now behold, the people which were in the Land Bountiful - Or rather, Moroni feared that they would hearken to the words of Morionton and unite with his people; And thus he would obtain possession of those parts of the land, which would lay a foundation for serious consequences among the people of Nephi, Yea, which consequences would lead to the overthrow of their liberty;
Alma 22:42 Behold, it came to pass that the son of Nephihah was appointed to fill the judgment seat in the stead of his father; Yea, he was appointed chief judge and governor over the people, with an oath and sacred ordinance to judge righteously, And to keep the peace and the freedom of the people, And to grant unto them their sacred privileges to worship the Lord their God,
Alma 22:43 Yea, to support and maintain the cause of God all his days, And to bring the wicked to justice according to their crime. Now behold, his name was Pahoron;
Alma 23:2 Nevertheless, they did not long maintain an entire peace in the land, For there began to be a contention among the people concerning the chief judge Pahoron. For behold, there were a part of the people which desired that a few particular points of the law should be altered;
Alma 23:3 But behold, Pahoron would not alter, nor suffer the law to be altered; Therefore, he did not hearken to those who had sent in their voices with their petitions concerning the altering of the law;
Alma 23:10 But behold, this was a critical time for such contentions to be among the people of Nephi; For behold, Amalickiah had again stirred up the hearts of the people of the Lamanites against the people of the Nephites; And he was gathering together soldiers from all parts of his land and arming them and preparing for war with all diligence, For he had sworn to drink the blood of Moroni.
Alma 23:11 But behold, we shall see that this promise which he made was rash; Nevertheless, he did prepare himself and his armies to come to battle against the Nephites.
Alma 23:19 For it was his first care to put an end to such contentions and dissensions among the people; For behold, this had been hitherto a cause of all their destructions.
Alma 23:27 Behold, it came to pass that while Moroni was thus breaking down the wars and contentions among his own people, And subjecting them to peace and civilization, And making regulations to prepare for war against the Lamanites, Behold, the Lamanites had come into the Land of Moroni, which was in the borders by the seashore.
Alma 23:37 But behold, he met with a disappointment by being repulsed by Teancum and his men, for they were great warriors; For every man of Teancum did exceed the Lamanites in their strength and in their skill of war, Insomuch that they did gain advantage over the Lamanites.
Alma 23:40 And it came to pass that when the night had come, Teancum and his servant stole forth and went out by night and went into the camp of Amalickiah; And behold, sleep had overpowered them because of their much fatigue which was caused by the labors and heat of the day.
Alma 23:42 And he returned again privily to his own camp, And behold, his men were asleep; And he awoke them and told them all the things that he had done.
Alma 24:1 And now it came to pass in the twenty and sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, Behold, when the Lamanites awoke on the first morning of the first month, Behold, they found Amalickiah was dead in his own tent; And they also saw that Teancum was ready to give them battle on that day;
Alma 24:13 And he also said unto him: "I would come unto you, But behold, the Lamanites are upon us in the borders of the land by the West Sea, And behold, I go against them; Therefore, I cannot come unto you."
Alma 24:17 But behold, it came to pass in the twentieth and seventh year of the reign of the judges that Teancum - By the command of Moroni who had established armies to protect the south and the west borders of the land, had begun his march toward the Land of Bountiful, that he might assist Teancum with his men in retaking the cities which they had lost -
Alma 24:25 But behold, Jacob, which was a Zoramite, would not come out with his army to meet them upon the plains.
Alma 24:32 And while Teancum was thus leading away the Lamanites which were pursuing them in vain, Behold, Moroni commanded that a part of his army which were with him should march forth into the city and take possession of it.
Alma 24:36 And now behold, when the chief captains of the Lamanites had beheld Lehi with his army coming against them, they fled in much confusion, Lest perhaps they should not obtain the City Mulek before Lehi should overtake them, For they were wearied because of their march and the men of Lehi were fresh.
Alma 24:43 But behold, Moroni and his men were more powerful, Therefore, they did not give way before the Lamanites.
Alma 24:46 Now Moroni seeing their confusion, he said unto them: "If ye will bring forth your weapons of war and deliver them up, Behold, we will forbear shedding your blood."
Alma 24:48 But behold, there were many that would not; And those who would not deliver up their swords were taken and bound and their weapons of war were taken from them, And they were compelled to march with their brethren forth into the Land Bountiful;
Alma 24:52 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.
Alma 24:63 And now behold, I have somewhat to say concerning the people of Ammon which, in the beginning, were Lamanites; But by Ammon and his brethren - or rather, by the power and word of God - they had been converted unto the Lord;
Alma 24:68 But behold, as they were about to take their weapons of war, They were overpowered by the persuasions of Helaman and his brethren, for they were about to break the oath which they had made;
Alma 24:69 And Helaman feared lest by so doing, they should lose their souls; Therefore, all those which had entered into this covenant were compelled to behold their brethren wade through their afflictions in their dangerous circumstances at this time.
Alma 24:70 But behold, it came to pass they had many sons which had not entered into a covenant that they would not take their weapons of war to defend themselves against their enemies;
Alma 24:74 Now behold, there were two thousand of those young men which entered into this covenant and took their weapons of war to defend their country.
Alma 24:75 And now behold, as they never had hitherto been a disadvantage to the Nephites, they became now at this period of time also a great support, For they took their weapons of war and they would that Helaman should be their leader;
Alma 24:76 And they were all young men, And they were exceeding valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; But behold, this was not all - They were men which were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted,
Alma 25:5 Now these are the words which he wrote unto Ammaron, saying: "Behold, Ammaron, I have written unto you somewhat concerning this war which ye have waged against my people, Or rather, which thy brother hath waged against them and which ye are still determined to carry on after his death.
Alma 25:6 "Behold, I would tell you something concerning the justice of God and the sword of His almighty wrath which doth hang over you, Except ye repent and withdraw your armies into your own lands, or the lands of your possessions, which is the Land of Nephi."Yea, I would tell you these things if ye were capable of hearkening unto them;
Alma 25:9 "And now behold, we are prepared to receive you; Yea, and except you withdraw your purposes, Behold, ye will pull down the wrath of that God whom you have rejected upon you, yea, even to your utter destruction;
Alma 25:11 "But behold, it supposeth me that I talk to you concerning these things in vain, Or, it supposeth me that thou art a child of hell; Therefore, I will close my epistle by telling you that I will not exchange prisoners, Save it be on conditions that ye will deliver up a man and his wife and his children for one prisoner - If this be the case that ye will do it, I will exchange.
Alma 25:12 "And behold, if ye do not this, I will come against you with my armies, Yea, even I will arm my women and my children and I will come against you; And I will follow you even into your own land, which is the land of our first inheritance; Yea, and it shall be blood for blood, yea, life for life; And I will give you battle, even until you are destroyed from off the face of the earth.
Alma 25:13 "Behold, I am in my anger! And also my people! Ye have sought to murder us, And we have only sought to defend ourselves.
Alma 25:14 "But behold, if ye seek to destroy us more, we will seek to destroy you; Yea, and we will seek our lands, the lands of our first inheritance.
Alma 25:17 "Behold, I will avenge his blood upon you; Yea, and I will come upon you with my armies for I fear not your threatenings.
Alma 25:18 "For behold, your fathers did wrong their brethren, insomuch that they did rob them of their right to the government when it rightfully belonged unto them.
Alma 25:19 "And now behold, if ye will lay down your arms and subject yourselves to be governed by those to whom the government doth rightly belong, Then will I cause that my people shall lay down their weapons and shall be at war no more.
Alma 25:20 "Behold, ye have breathed out many threatenings against me and my people; But behold, we fear not your threatenings.
Alma 25:23 "And as concerning that God whom ye say we have rejected, Behold, we know not such a Being; Neither do ye; But if it so be that there is such a Being, we know not but that He hath made us as well as you;
Alma 25:24 And if it so be that there is a devil and a hell, Behold, will he not send you there to dwell with my brother which ye have murdered, which ye have hinted that he hath gone to such a place? But behold, these things mattereth not.
Alma 25:25 "I am Ammaron and a descendant of Zoram whom your fathers pressed and brought out of Jerusalem. And behold, I am now a bold Lamanite.
Alma 25:26 "Behold, this war hath been waged to avenge their wrongs and to maintain and to obtain their rights to the government; And I close my epistle to Moroni."
Alma 25:28 And he said: "Behold, I will not exchange prisoners with Ammaron, save he will withdraw his purpose as I have stated in my epistle; For I will not grant unto him that he shall have any more power than what he hath got.
Alma 25:29 "Behold, I know that place where the Lamanites doth guard my people which they have taken prisoners; And as Ammaron would not grant unto me mine epistle, Behold, I will give unto him according to my words; Yea, I will seek death among them until they shall sue for peace."
Alma 25:34 And it came to pass that when it was evening, Laman went to the guards which were over the Nephites, And behold, they saw him coming and they hailed him;
Alma 25:35 But he saith unto them: "Fear not - Behold, I am a Lamanite; Behold, we have escaped from the Nephites and they sleepeth; And behold, we have taken of their wine and brought with us."
Alma 25:43 And all those things were done in a profound silence; But had they awakened the Lamanites, Behold, they were drunken and the Nephites could have slain them.
Alma 25:44 But behold, this was not the desire of Moroni; He did not delight in murder or bloodshed, But he delighted in the saving of his people from destruction; And for this cause he might not bring upon him injustice, he would not fall upon the Lamanites and destroy them in their drunkenness.
Alma 25:47 Now behold, this was done in the nighttime so that when the Lamanites awoke in the morning, they beheld that they were surrounded by the Nephites without and that their prisoners were armed within.
Alma 25:49 Therefore, their chief captains demanded their weapons of war, And they brought them forth and cast them at the feet of the Nephites, pleading for mercy. Now behold, this was the desire of Moroni;
Alma 25:58 But behold, the Nephites were not slow to remember the Lord their God in this, their times of affliction;
Alma 25:62 For behold, the Lamanites had by their labors fortified the City Morionton until it had become an exceeding stronghold; And they were continually bringing new forces into that city, and also new supplies of provisions.
Alma 26:2 And these are the words which he wrote, saying: "My dearly beloved brother Moroni, as well in the Lord as in the tribulations of our warfare, Behold, my beloved brother, I have somewhat to tell you concerning our warfare in this part of the land.
Alma 26:3 "Behold, two thousand of the sons of those men which Ammon brought down out of the Land of Nephi -
Alma 26:9 "But behold, here is one thing in which we may have great joy -
Alma 26:10 For behold, in the twenty and sixth year, I, Helaman, did march at the head of these two thousand young men to the City of Judeah, to assist Antipus whom ye had appointed a leader over the people of that part of the land;
Alma 26:11 And I did join my two thousand sons - for they are worthy to be called sons - to the army of Antipus, in the which strength Antipus did rejoice exceedingly; For behold, his army had been reduced by the Lamanites because of the numerosity of their forces, having slain a vast number of our men, for which cause we have to mourn;
Alma 26:26 We supposed that we could overpower them. "But behold, we were disappointed in this our desire -
Alma 26:46 But behold, it was night, Therefore, they did not overtake us; Neither did Antipus overtake them, Therefore, we did camp for the night.
Alma 26:47 "And it came to pass that before the dawn of the morning, behold, the Lamanites were pursuing us;
Alma 26:52 "And now whether they were overtaken by Antipus, we knew not; But I said unto my men: 'Behold, we know not but they have halted for the purpose that we should come against them, that they might catch us in their snare; Therefore, what say ye, my sons? Will ye go against them to battle?'
Alma 26:54 For as I had ever called them my sons - for they were all of them very young - even so they said unto me: ' Father, behold, our God is with us and He will not suffer that we shall fall, Then let us go forth;
Alma 26:59 "And now behold, the armies of Antipus had overtaken them and a terrible battle had commenced;
Alma 26:65 "And now it came to pass that when they had surrendered themselves up unto us, Behold, I numbered those young men which had fought with me, fearing lest there were many of them slain;
Alma 26:66 But behold, to my great joy, there had not one soul of them fallen to the earth! Yea, and they had fought as if with the strength of God; Yea, never were men known to have fought with such miraculous strength;
Alma 26:76 "And now behold, we were strong; Yea, and we had also a plenty of provisions brought to us.
Alma 26:78 "And now behold, I will show unto you that we soon accomplished our desire; Yea, with our strong force, or with a part of our strong force, we did surround by night the City Cumeni a little before they were to receive a supply of provisions.
Alma 26:86 "For behold, they would break out in great numbers and would fight with stones and with clubs or whatsoever thing they could get into their hands, Insomuch that we did slay upwards of two thousand of them after they had surrendered themselves prisoners of war;
Alma 26:91 And now behold, we did not inquire of them concerning the prisoners, For behold, the Lamanites were upon us, And they returned in season to save us from falling into their hands;
Alma 26:92 For behold, Ammaron had sent to their support a new supply of provisions, and also a numerous army of men;
Alma 26:94 "But behold, my little band of two thousand and sixty fought most desperately, Yea, they were firm before the Lamanites and did administer death unto all those who opposed them;
Alma 26:95 And as the remainder of our army were about to give way before the Lamanites, Behold, these two thousand and sixty were firm and undaunted, Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness,
Alma 26:97 "And now behold, it was these - my sons and those men which had been selected to convey the prisoners - to whom we owe this great victory, For it was they who did beat the Lamanites; Therefore, they were driven back to the City of Manti,
Alma 26:105 "And now it came to pass that after we had thus taken care of our wounded men and had buried our dead, and also the dead of the Lamanites, which were many, Behold, we did inquire of Gid concerning the prisoners which they had started to go down to the Land of Zarahemla with;
Alma 26:107 "And now, these are the words which Gid said unto me: 'Behold, we did start to go down to the Land of Zarahemla with our prisoners;
Alma 26:109 And they cried unto us, saying: "Behold, the armies of the Lamanites are a marching toward the City of Cumeni; And behold, they will fall upon them and will destroy our people!"
Alma 26:113 'And behold, when they had fled and we could not overtake them, we took our march with speed toward the City Cumeni; And behold, we did arrive in time that we might assist our brethren in preserving the city.
Alma 26:114 'And behold, we are again delivered out of the hands of our enemies;
Alma 26:115 And blessed is the name of our God! For behold, it is He that hath delivered us, yea, that hath done this great thing for us.'
Alma 26:118 "And behold, now it came to pass that our next object was to obtain the City of Manti; But behold, there was no way that we could lead them out of the city by our small bands,
Alma 26:119 For behold, they remembered that which we had hitherto done; Therefore, we could not decoy them away from their strongholds;
Alma 26:125 But behold, this did not profit us but little, For the Lamanites were also receiving great strength from day to day, and also many provisions. "And thus were our circumstances at this period of time.
Alma 26:138 "And when we saw that they were making preparations to come out against us, Behold, I caused that Gid, with a small number of men, should secrete himself in the wilderness, And also that Teomner should with a small number of men secrete themselves also in the wilderness.
Alma 26:139 "Now Gid and his men were on the right and the others on the left; And when they had thus secreted themselves, behold, I remained with the remainder of my army in that same place where we had first pitched our tents, Against the time that the Lamanites should come out to battle.
Alma 26:150 "And behold, it was night and they did pitch their tents; For the chief captains of the Lamanites supposing that the Nephites were weary because of their march, And supposing that they had driven their whole army, Therefore, they took no thought concerning the City of Manti.
Alma 26:152 And because of this our march in the nighttime, behold, on the morrow, we were beyond the Lamanites, insomuch that we did arrive before them to the City of Manti.
Alma 26:156 But behold, they have carried with them many women and children out of the land;
Alma 26:158 "But behold, our armies are small to maintain so great a number of cities and so great possessions.
Alma 26:159 "But behold, we trust that our God who hath given us victory over those lands, Insomuch that we have obtained those cities and those lands which were our own -
Alma 26:161 Behold, we do not know but what ye are unsuccessful, And ye have drawn away the forces into that quarter of the land; If so, we do not desire to murmur;
Alma 26:162 And if it is not so, behold, we fear that there is some faction in the government that they do not send more men to our assistance; For we know that they are more numerous than that which they have sent;
Alma 26:163 But behold, it mattereth not - "We trust God will deliver us notwithstanding the weakness of our armies, Yea, and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies.
Alma 26:164 "Behold, this is the twenty and ninth year, in the latter end, And we are in the possession of our lands; And the Lamanites have fled to the Land of Nephi.
Alma 26:166 "But behold, they have received many wounds; Nevertheless, they stand fast in that liberty wherewith God hath made them free;
Alma 26:170 "And now behold, I close mine epistle; I am Helaman, the son of Alma."
Alma 27:5 And it came to pass that while Moroni was thus making preparations to go against the Lamanites to battle, Behold, the people of Nephihah which were gathered together from the City of Moroni and the City of Lehi and the City of Morionton were attacked by the Lamanites.
Alma 27:14 And it came to pass that he wrote again to the governor of the land, which was Pahoron, And these are the words which he wrote, saying: "Behold, I direct mine epistle to Pahoron, in the City of Zarahemla, which is the chief judge and the governor over the land, And also to all those who hath been chosen by this people to govern and manage the affairs of this war;
Alma 27:15 For behold, I have somewhat to say unto them by the way of condemnation. "For behold, ye yourselves know that ye have been appointed to gather together men, And arm them with swords and with scimitars and all manner of weapons of war of every kind, And send forth against the Lamanites in whatsoever parts they should come into our land.
Alma 27:16 "And now behold, I say unto you that myself and also my men and also Helaman and his men have suffered exceeding great sufferings - Yea, even hunger, thirst and fatigue and all manner of afflictions of every kind.
Alma 27:17 "But behold, were this all we had suffered, we would not murmur nor complain; But behold, great has been the slaughter among our people -
Alma 27:19 Yea, great has been your neglect toward us. "And now behold, we desire to know the cause of this exceeding great neglect; Yea, we desire to know the cause of your thoughtless state.
Alma 27:23 "But behold, this is not all - Ye have withheld your provisions from them, Insomuch that many have fought and bled out their lives because of their great desires which they had for the welfare of this people;
Alma 27:26 But behold, ye have neglected them insomuch that the blood of thousands shall come upon your heads for vengeance; Yea, for known unto God were all their cries and all their sufferings.
Alma 27:27 "Behold, could ye suppose that ye could sit upon your thrones, And because of the exceeding goodness of God, ye could do nothing and He would deliver you? Behold, if ye have supposed this, ye have supposed in vain.
Alma 27:29 "And behold, it is to your condemnation; For the Lord suffereth the righteous to be slain that His justice and judgment may come upon the wicked; Therefore, ye need not suppose that the righteous are lost because they are slain; But behold, they do enter into the rest of the Lord their God.
Alma 27:30 "And now behold, I say unto you, I fear exceedingly that the judgments of God will come upon this people because of their exceeding slothfulness, Yea, even the slothfulness of our government and their exceeding great neglect toward their brethren, yea, toward those which have been slain.
Alma 27:35 "But behold, now the Lamanites are coming upon us, And they are murdering our people with the sword, yea, our women and our children, Taking possession of our lands, and also carrying them away captive, Causing them that they should suffer all manner of afflictions; And this because of the great wickedness of those who are seeking for power and authority, yea, even those Kingmen.
Alma 27:42 "Do ye suppose that God will look upon you as guiltless, while ye sit still and behold these things? Behold, I say unto you, Nay!
Alma 27:44 "And now except ye do repent of that which ye have done and begin to be up and doing, And send forth food and men unto us, and also unto Helaman that he may support those parts of our country which he hath obtained, And that we may also recover the remainder of our possessions in these parts, Behold, it will be expedient that we contend no more with the Lamanites until we have first cleansed our inward vessel, yea, even the great head of our government.
Alma 27:45 "And except ye grant mine epistle and come out and show unto me a true spirit of freedom, And strive to strengthen and fortify our armies and grant unto them food for their support, Behold, I will leave a part of my Freemen to maintain this part of our land; And I will leave the strength and the blessings of God upon them, that none other power can operate against them - and this because of their exceeding faith and their patience in their tribulations -
Alma 27:46 And I will come unto you; And if there be any among you that hath a desire for freedom, yea, if there be even a spark of freedom remaining, Behold, I will stir up insurrections among you, even until those who hath desires to usurp power and authority shall become extinct.
Alma 27:47 "Yea, behold I do not fear your power nor your authority, But it is my God whom I fear; And it is according to His commandments that I do take my sword to defend the cause of my country; And it is because of your iniquity that we have suffered so much loss.
Alma 27:48 "Behold, it is time; Yea, the time is now at hand, that except ye do bestir yourselves in the defense of your country and your little ones, the sword of justice doth hang over you - Yea, and it shall fall upon you and visit you even to your utter destruction.
Alma 27:49 "Behold, I wait for assistance from you; And except ye do administer unto our relief, Behold, I come unto you - even into the Land of Zarahemla - and smite you with the sword, Insomuch that ye can have no more power to impede the progress of this people in the cause of our freedom;
Alma 27:50 For behold, the Lord will not suffer that ye shall live and wax strong in your iniquities to destroy His righteous people.
Alma 27:51 "Behold, can you suppose that the Lord will spare you and come out in judgment against the Lamanites, when it is the tradition of their fathers that hath caused their hatred?
Alma 27:54 "Behold, the Lord saith unto me: 'If those whom ye have appointed your governors do not repent of their sins and iniquities, ye shall go up to battle against them.'
Alma 27:55 "And now behold, I, Moroni, am constrained, according to the covenant which I have made, to keep the commandments of my God; Therefore, I would that ye should adhere to the word of God and send speedily unto me of your provisions and of your men, and also to Helaman;
Alma 27:56 And behold, if ye will not do this, I come unto you speedily; For behold, God will not suffer that we should perish with hunger; Therefore, He will give unto us of your food, even if it must be by the sword;
Alma 27:58 "Behold, I am Moroni, your chief captain; I seek not for power, but to pull it down;
Alma 28:1 Behold, now it came to pass that soon after Moroni had sent his epistle unto the chief governor, He received an epistle from Pahoron, the chief governor.
Alma 28:2 And these are the words which he received: "I, Pahoron, which art the chief governor of this land, do send these words unto Moroni, the chief captain over the army. "Behold I say unto you, Moroni, that I do not joy in your great afflictions, yea, it grieves my soul.
Alma 28:3 "But behold, there are those who do joy in your afflictions, Yea, insomuch that they have risen up in rebellion against me, and also those of my people which are Freemen. "Yea, and those which have risen up are exceeding numerous;
Alma 28:6 "And behold, they have driven me out before them, And I have fled to the Land of Gideon with as many men as it were possible that I could get.
Alma 28:7 "And behold, I have sent a proclamation throughout this part of the land; And behold, they are flocking to us daily, to their arms, in the defense of their country and their freedom and to avenge our wrongs.
Alma 28:14 "And now behold, we will resist wickedness, even unto bloodshed;
Alma 28:18 "But behold, He doth not command us that we shall subject ourselves to our enemies, But that we should put our trust in Him and He will deliver us;
Alma 28:21 Behold, I have sent a few provisions unto them, that they may not perish until ye can come unto me.
Alma 29:8 And behold, Pachus was slain and his men were taken prisoners; And Pahoron was restored to his judgment seat.
Alma 29:40 For behold, the Nephites and the Lamanites also were weary because of the greatness of the march; Therefore, they did not resolve upon any stratagem in the nighttime, save it were Teancum;
Alma 29:44 But behold, the king did awake his servant before he died, insomuch that they did pursue Teancum and slew him.
Alma 29:45 Now it came to pass that when Lehi and Moroni knew that Teancum was dead, they were exceeding sorrowful; For behold, he had been a man which had fought valiantly for his country, yea, a true friend to liberty, And he had suffered very many exceeding sore afflictions;
Alma 29:46 But behold, he was dead and had gone the way of all the earth.
Alma 29:50 But behold, because of the exceeding great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites, Many had become hardened because of the exceeding great length of the war;
Alma 30:7 And behold, there were many of the Nephites which did enter therein and did sail forth with much provisions, and also many women and children; And they took their course northward;
Alma 30:16 Now behold, all those engravings which were in the possession of Helaman were written and sent forth among the children of men throughout all the land, save it were those parts which had been commanded by Alma should not go forth.
Helaman 1:1 And now behold, it came to pass in the commencement of the fortieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, There began to be a serious difficulty among the people of the Nephites;
Helaman 1:2 For behold, Pahoron had died and gone the way of all the earth; Therefore, there began to be a serious contention concerning who should have the judgment seat among the brethren which were the sons of Pahoron.
Helaman 1:7 But behold, Paanchi, and that part of the people that were desirous that he should be their governor, was exceeding wroth; Therefore, he was about to flatter away those people to rise up in rebellion against their brethren.
Helaman 1:8 And it came to pass as he was about to do this, Behold, he was taken and was tried according to the voice of the people and condemned unto death; For he had raised up in rebellion and sought to destroy the liberty of the people.
Helaman 1:9 Now when those people which were desirous that he should be their governor saw that he was condemned unto death, Therefore, they were angry. And behold, they sent forth one, Kishcumen, even to the judgment seat of Pahoron, And murdered Pahoron as he sat upon the judgment seat;
Helaman 1:10 And he was pursued by the servants of Pahoron. But behold, so speedy was the flight of Kishcumen that no man could overtake him;
Helaman 1:13 And now behold, Pacumeni was appointed according to the voice of the people to be a chief judge and a governor over the people, To reign in the stead of his brother Pahoron; And it was according to his right.
Helaman 1:27 But behold, this march of Coriantumr through the center of the land gave Moronihah great advantage over them, Notwithstanding the greatness of the number of the Nephites which were slain;
Helaman 1:28 For behold, Moronihah had supposed that the Lamanites durst not come into the center of the land, But that they would attack the cities round about in the borders as they had hitherto done; Therefore, Moronihah had caused that their strong armies should maintain those parts round about by the borders.
Helaman 1:29 But behold, the Lamanites were not frightened according to his desire; But they had come into the center of the land and had taken the capital city, which was the City of Zarahemla, And were marching through the most capital parts of the land, Slaying the people with a great slaughter - both men, women and children - Taking possession of many cities and of many strongholds.
Helaman 1:33 And now behold, the Lamanites could not retreat either way - neither on the north, nor on the south, nor on the east, nor on the west - For they were surrounded on every hand by the Nephites.
Helaman 1:37 And it came to pass in the forty and second year of the reign of the judges, After Moronihah had established again the peace between the Nephites and the Lamanites, Behold, there was no one to fill the judgment seat; Therefore, there began to be a contention again among the people concerning who should fill the judgment seat.
Helaman 1:39 But behold, Kishcumen, who had murdered Pahoron, did lay wait to destroy Helaman also; And he was upheld by his band which had entered into a covenant that no one should know his wickedness.
Helaman 1:42 And it came to pass as he went forth toward the judgment seat to destroy Helaman, Behold, one of the servants of Helaman - having been out by night and having obtained through disguise a knowledge of those plans which had been laid by this band to destroy Helaman -
Helaman 1:45 Now this did please Kishcumen exceedingly, For he did suppose that he should accomplish his design; But behold, the servant of Helaman, as they were going forth unto the judgment seat, did stab Kishcumen, even to the heart, that he fell dead without a groan;
Helaman 1:48 But behold, when Gaddianton had found that Kishcumen did not return, He feared lest that he should be destroyed; Therefore, he caused that his band should follow him;
Helaman 1:51 And behold, in the end of this book ye shall see that this Gaddianton did prove the overthrow, yea, almost the entire destruction of the people of Nephi -
Helaman 1:52 Behold, I do not mean the end of the book of Helaman, But I mean the end of the book of Nephi from which I have taken all the account which I have written.
Helaman 2:13 But behold, a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people - Yea, the account of the Lamanites and of the Nephites, And their wars and contentions and dissensions, And their preaching and their prophecies, And their shipping and their building of ships, And their building of temples and of synagogues and their sanctuaries, And their righteousness and their wickedness and their murders and their robbings and their plunderings, And all manner of abominations and whoredoms - Cannot be contained in this work.
Helaman 2:14 But behold, there are many books and many records of every kind, And they have been kept chiefly by the Nephites; And they have been handed down from one generation to another by the Nephites, even until they have fallen into transgression, And have been murdered, plundered and hunted, And driven forth and slain and scattered upon the face of the earth, And mixed with the Lamanites until they are no more called the Nephites, becoming wicked and wild and ferocious, Yea, even becoming Lamanites.
Helaman 2:36 And it came to pass that they did endeavor to stir up the Lamanites to war against the Nephites; But behold, the Lamanites were exceeding fraid, insomuch that they would not hearken to the words of those dissenters.
Helaman 2:47 But behold, Moronihah did preach many things unto the people because of their iniquity, And also Nephi and Lehi, which were the sons of Helaman, did preach many things unto the people,
Helaman 2:61 For behold, they saw that the strength of the Lamanites was as great as their strength, even man for man.
Helaman 2:63 And it came to pass that in this same year, Behold, Nephi delivered up the judgment seat to a man whose name was Cezoram.
Helaman 2:67 And these are the words which he spake: "Behold, my sons, I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God; And I would that ye should declare unto the people these words.
Helaman 2:68 "Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents which came out of the Land of Jerusalem; And this I have done that when you remember your names, that ye may remember them; And when ye remember them, ye may remember their works; And when ye remember their works, ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good.
Helaman 2:70 "And now my sons, behold, I have somewhat more to desire of you, Which desire is that ye may not do these things that ye may boast, But that ye may do these things to lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, Yea, which is eternal and which fadeth not away; Yea, that ye may have that precious gift of eternal life, which ye have reason to suppose hath been given to our fathers.
Helaman 2:84 And after they had been cast into prison many days without food, Behold, they went forth into the prison to take them, that they might slay them.
Helaman 2:89 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did stand forth and began to speak unto them, saying: "Fear not! For behold, it is God that hath shown unto you this marvelous thing, In the which is shown unto you that ye cannot lay your hands on us to slay us."
Helaman 2:90 And behold, when they had said these words, the earth shook exceedingly, And the walls of the prison did shake, as if they were about to tumble to the earth; But behold, they did not fall.
Helaman 2:91 And behold, they that were in the prison were Lamanites and Nephites which were dissenters.
Helaman 2:94 And it came to pass when they heard this voice and beheld that it was not a voice of thunder - Neither was it a voice of a great tumultuous noise, But behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, And it did pierce even to the very soul -
Helaman 2:95 And notwithstanding the mildness of the voice, Behold, the earth shook exceedingly, And the walls of the prison trembled again as if it were about to tumble to the earth; And behold, the cloud of darkness which had overshadowed them did not disperse.
Helaman 2:96 And behold, the voice came again, saying: "Repent ye, repent ye! for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; And seek no more to destroy My servants!"
Helaman 2:100 And it came to pass that he turned him about, And behold, he saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi; And behold, they did shine exceedingly, even as the face of angels;
Helaman 2:103 And behold, there was power given unto them that they did turn and look; And they did behold the faces of Nephi and Lehi.
Helaman 2:104 And they said unto the man: "Behold, what doth all these things mean? And who is it with whom these men do converse?"
Helaman 2:109 And it came to pass that when they cast their eyes about and saw that the cloud of darkness was dispersed from overshadowing them, And behold, they saw that they were encircled about, yea, every soul, by a pillar of fire;
Helaman 2:111 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 2:113 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 2:119 For behold, there were many of the Nephites which 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 2:126 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 2:130 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 which did work all kinds of ore and did refine it; And thus they did become rich.
Helaman 2:133 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.
Helaman 2:136 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.
Helaman 2:139 For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world, That they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodsheds; Therefore, they began to set their hearts upon their riches;
Helaman 2:141 And now behold, those murderers and plunderers were a band which had been formed by Kishcumen and Gaddianton.
Helaman 2:142 And now it had come to pass that there were many, even among the Nephites, of Gaddianton's band; But behold, they were more numerous among the more wicked part of the Lamanites;
Helaman 2:143 And they were called Gaddianton's robbers and murderers; And it was they which did murder the chief judge Cezoram and his son while in the judgment seat; And behold, they were not found.
Helaman 2:145 But behold, Satan did stir up the hearts of the more parts of the Nephites insomuch that they did unite with those bands of robbers, And did enter into their covenants and their oaths that they would protect and preserve one another in whatsoever difficult circumstances they should be placed, In that they should not suffer for their murders and their plunderings and their stealings.
Helaman 2:149 Now behold, it is these secret oaths and covenants which Alma commanded his son should not go forth unto the world, Lest they should be a means of bringing down the people unto destruction.
Helaman 2:150 Now behold, those secret oaths and covenants did not come forth unto Gaddianton from the records which were delivered unto Helaman;
Helaman 2:151 But behold, they were put into the heart of Gaddianton by that same being who did entice our first parents to partake of the forbidden fruit - Yea, that same being who did plot with Cain, that if he would murder his brother Abel, it should not be known unto the world;
Helaman 2:156 And behold, it is he which is the author of all sin; And behold, he doth carry on his works of darkness and secret murder, And doth hand down their plots and their oaths and their covenants and their plans of awful wickedness from generation to generation, According as he can get hold upon the hearts of the children of men.
Helaman 2:157 And now behold, he had got great hold upon the hearts of the Nephites, Yea, insomuch that they had become exceeding wicked;
Helaman 3:1 Behold, now it came to pass in the sixty and ninth year of the reign of the judges over the people of the Nephites that Nephi, the son of Helaman, returned to the Land of Zarahemla from the Land Northward; For he had been forth among the people which were in the Land Northward, And did preach the word of God unto them, And did prophesy many things unto them;
Helaman 3:9 "But behold, I am consigned that these are my days, and that my soul shall be filled with sorrow because of this, the wickedness of my brethren."
Helaman 3:10 And behold, now it came to pass that it was upon a tower which was in the garden of Nephi - which was by the highway which led to the chief market which was in the City of Zarahemla -
Helaman 3:14 And it came to pass that he opened his mouth and said unto them: "Behold, why have ye gathered yourselves together? That I may tell you of your iniquities?
Helaman 3:20 And behold, instead of gathering you, except ye will repent, Behold, He shall scatter you forth, that ye shall become meat for dogs and wild beasts.
Helaman 3:22 "But behold, it is to get gain - to be praised of men - yea, and that ye might get gold and silver;
Helaman 3:24 "For if ye will not repent, Behold, this great city, and also all those great cities which are round about, which are in the land of our possession, shall be taken away, that ye shall have no place in them, For behold, the Lord will not grant unto you strength, as He hath hitherto done, to withstand against your enemies.
Helaman 3:25 "For behold, thus saith the Lord: 'I will not show unto the wicked of My strength, to one more than the other, Save it be unto those who repenteth of their sins and hearken unto My words.'
Helaman 3:26 "Now therefore, I would that ye should behold, my brethren, that it shall be better for the Lamanites than for you, except ye shall repent; For behold, they are more righteous than you, For they have not sinned against that great knowledge which ye have received;
Helaman 3:31 "Behold, now I do not say that these things shall be of myself, Because it is not of myself that I know these things; But behold, I know that these things are true because the Lord God hath made them known unto me; Therefore, I testify that they shall be."
Helaman 3:32 And now it came to pass that when Nephi had said these words, Behold, there were men which were judges, which also belonged to the secret band of Gaddianton, And they were angry;
Helaman 3:35 For behold, Nephi had spoken unto them concerning the corruptness of their law; Yea, many things did Nephi speak which cannot be written; And nothing did he speak which was contrary to the commandments of God.
Helaman 3:37 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;
Helaman 3:38 And now we know that this is impossible, For behold, we are powerful and our cities great; Therefore, our enemies can have no power over us."
Helaman 3:40 Yea, behold, all the judgments will come upon us which he hath testified unto us, For we know that he hath testified aright unto us concerning our iniquities -
Helaman 3:41 And behold, they are many - And he knoweth as well all things which shall befall us, as he knoweth of our iniquities; Yea, and behold, if he had not been a prophet, he could not have testified concerning those things."
Helaman 3:44 Therefore, he was constrained to speak more unto them, saying: "Behold, my brethren, have ye not read that God gave power unto one man - even Moses - to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea? And they parted hither and thither, insomuch that the Israelites, which were our fathers, came through upon dry ground? And the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up?
Helaman 3:45 "And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power, Then why should ye dispute among yourselves and say that He hath given unto me no power whereby I may know concerning the judgments that shall come upon you except ye repent?
Helaman 3:46 "But behold, ye not only deny my words, But ye also deny all the words which hath been spoken by our fathers, And also the words which were spoken by this man Moses which had such great power given unto him, Yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of Messiah.
Helaman 3:49 "And now behold, Moses did not only testify of these things, but also all the holy prophets, From his day even to the days of Abraham -
Helaman 3:50 Yea, and behold, Abraham saw of His coming and was filled with gladness and did rejoice!
Helaman 3:51 "Yea, and behold, I say unto you that Abraham not only knew of these things, But there were many before the days of Abraham which were called by the order of God, yea, even after the order of His Son;
Helaman 3:53 "And now I would that ye should know that even since the days of Abraham, that there hath been many prophets that hath testified these things - Yea, behold, the prophet Zenos did testify boldly, for the which he was slain;
Helaman 3:54 And behold, also Zenoch, and also Ezaias, and also Isaiah and Jeremiah - Jeremiah being that same prophet which testified of the destruction of Jerusalem.
Helaman 3:57 Yea, and do ye not behold that the seed of Zedekiah are with us? And they were driven out of the Land of Jerusalem?
Helaman 3:58 "But behold, this is not all - Our father Lehi was driven out of Jerusalem because he testified of these things;
Helaman 3:60 "And behold, He is God and He is with them; And He did manifest Himself unto them, that they were redeemed by Him; And they gave unto Him glory because of that which is to come.
Helaman 3:63 "But behold, ye have rejected the truth and rebelled against your Holy God; And even at this time, instead of laying up for yourselves treasures in heaven where nothing doth corrupt and where nothing can come which is unclean, Ye are heaping up for yourselves wrath against the day of judgment;
Helaman 3:65 Yea, behold, it is now even at your doors."Yea, go ye in unto the judgment seat and search; And behold, your judge is murdered and he lieth in his blood; And he hath been murdered by his brother who seeketh to sit in the judgment seat.
Helaman 3:66 "And behold, they both belong to your secret band, whose author is Gaddianton and the evil one which seeketh to destroy the souls of men."
Helaman 3:67 Behold, now it came to pass that when Nephi had spoken these words, certain men which were among them ran to the judgment seat, Yea, even there were five which went;
Helaman 3:68 And they said among themselves as they went: "Behold, now we will know of a surety whether this man be a prophet, And God hath commanded him to prophesy such marvelous things unto us -
Helaman 3:69 Behold, we do not believe that He hath - Yea, we do not believe that he is a prophet; Nevertheless, if this thing which he hath said concerning the chief judge be true - that he be dead - Then will we believe that the other words which he hath spoken are true."
Helaman 3:70 And it came to pass that they ran in their might and came in unto the judgment seat; And behold, the chief judge had fallen to the earth and did lie in his blood.
Helaman 3:71 And now behold, when they saw this they were astonished exceedingly, insomuch that they fell to the earth, For they had not believed the words which Nephi had spoken concerning the chief judge;
Helaman 3:74 And behold, the people did gather themselves together unto the place of the judgment seat; And behold, to their astonishment they saw those five men which had fallen to the earth.
Helaman 3:75 And now behold, the people knew nothing concerning the multitude which had gathered together at the garden of Nephi; Therefore, they said among themselves: "These men are they which have murdered the judge, And God hath smitten them, that they could not flee from us."
Helaman 3:82 And it came to pass that the judges desired that they should be brought; And they were brought, And behold, they were the five which were sent.
Helaman 3:83 And behold, the judges inquired of them to know concerning the matter, And they told them all that they had done, saying: "We ran and came to the place of the judgment seat; And when we saw all things, even as Nephi had testified, We were astonished, insomuch that we fell to the earth; And when we were recovered from our astonishment, Behold, they cast us into prison.
Helaman 3:84 "Now as for the murder of this man, we know not who hath done it, And only this much we know - we ran and came according as ye desired; And behold, he was dead according to the words of Nephi."
Helaman 3:85 And now it came to pass that the judges did expound the matter unto the people and did cry out against Nephi, saying: "Behold, we know that this Nephi must have agreed with someone to slay the judge, And then he might declare it unto us, that he might convert us unto his faith, That he might raise himself to be a great man chosen of God and a prophet.
Helaman 3:86 "And now behold, we will detect this man, And he shall confess his fault and make known unto us the true murderer of this judge."
Helaman 3:90 Saying unto him: "Thou art confederate with this man that hath done this murder! Now tell us and acknowledge thy fault!" - Saying, "Behold, here is money"; And also, "We will grant unto thee thy life if thou wilt tell us and acknowledge the agreement which thou hast made with him."
Helaman 3:93 "Behold, ye say that I have agreed with a man that he should murder Seezoram, our chief judge.
Helaman 3:94 "But behold, I say unto you that this is because I have testified unto you, That ye might know concerning this thing - yea, even for a witness unto you - that I did know of the wickedness and abominations which are among you.
Helaman 3:96 "And now behold, I will show unto you another sign, And see if ye will in this thing seek to destroy me.
Helaman 3:97 "Behold, I say unto you, go to the house of Seantum, which is the brother of Seezoram, and say unto him: 'Hath Nephi, the pretended prophet which doth prophesy so much evil concerning this people, agreed with thee in the which ye have murdered Seezoram, which is your brother?' "And behold, he shall say unto you, 'Nay.'
Helaman 3:99 "And behold, he shall deny unto you; And he shall make as if he were astonished; Nevertheless, he shall declare unto you that he is innocent.
Helaman 3:100 "But behold, ye shall examine him, And ye shall find blood upon the skirts of his cloak.
Helaman 3:102 "And then shall ye say: 'Because of this fear and this paleness which hath come upon your face, Behold, we know that thou art guilty.'
Helaman 3:107 And behold, the words which he had said were true; For according to the words, he did deny; And also according to the words, he did confess;
Helaman 3:110 And now there were some among the people which said that Nephi was a prophet; And there were others which said: "Behold, he is a god, For except he was a god, he could not know of all things;
Helaman 3:111 For behold, he hath told us the thoughts of our hearts, and also hath told us things; And even he hath brought unto our knowledge the true murderer of our chief judge."
Helaman 3:114 And it came to pass as he was thus pondering - Being much cast down because of the wickedness of the people of the Nephites, their secret works of darkness and their murderings and their plunderings and all manner of iniquities - And it came to pass as he was thus pondering in his heart, Behold, a voice came unto him, saying:
Helaman 3:117 "And now because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, Behold, I will bless thee forever; And I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; Yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, For thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to My will.
Helaman 3:119 "Behold, I declare it unto thee in the presence of Mine angels, That ye shall have power over this people and shall smite the earth with famine and with pestilence and destruction, according to the wickedness of this people.
Helaman 3:120 "Behold, I give unto you power that whatsoever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven, And whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven; And thus shall ye have power among this people.
Helaman 3:123 "And behold, if ye shall say that God shall smite this people, it shall come to pass.
Helaman 3:124 "And now behold, I command you that ye shall go and declare unto this people that, 'Thus saith the Lord God, who is the Almighty, Except ye repent, ye shall be smitten, even unto destruction! '"
Helaman 3:125 And behold, now it came to pass that when the Lord had spoken these words unto Nephi, he did stop and did not go unto his own house, But did return unto the multitudes which were scattered about upon the face of the land, And began to declare unto them the word of the Lord which had been spoken unto him concerning their destruction, if they did not repent.
Helaman 3:126 Now behold, notwithstanding that great miracle which Nephi had done in telling them concerning the death of the chief judge, They did harden their hearts and did not hearken unto the words of the Lord.
Helaman 3:128 And it came to pass that when Nephi had declared unto them the word, Behold, they did still harden their hearts and would not hearken unto his words; Therefore, they did revile against him and did seek to lay their hands upon him, that they might cast him into prison.
Helaman 3:129 But behold, the power of God was with him and they could not take him to cast him into prison, For he was taken by the Spirit and conveyed away out of the midst of them.
Helaman 4:10 And the people began to plead with their chief judges and their leaders, that they would say unto Nephi: "Behold, we know that thou art a man of God; And therefore, cry unto the Lord our God that He turn away from us this famine, lest all the words which thou hast spoken concerning our destruction be fulfilled."
Helaman 4:12 And it came to pass that when Nephi saw that the people had repented and did humble themselves in sackcloth, He cried again unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, behold, this people repenteth;
Helaman 4:22 And behold, the people did rejoice and glorify God, And the whole face of the land was filled with rejoicing; And they did no more seek to destroy Nephi, But they did esteem him as a great prophet and a man of God, having great power and authority given unto him from God;
Helaman 4:23 And behold, Lehi his brother was not a whit behind him as to things pertaining to righteousness.
Helaman 4:34 Now behold, these robbers did make great havoc, yea, even great destruction among the people of Nephi, and also among the people of the Lamanites.
Helaman 4:36 But behold, it came to pass that in that same year, they were driven back even into their own lands.
Helaman 4:48 And thus we can behold how false, and also the unsteadiness of, the hearts of the children of men. Yea, we can see that the Lord in His great infinite goodness doth bless and prosper those who put their trust in Him.
Helaman 4:56 Behold, they do not desire that the Lord their God who hath created them should rule and reign over them; Notwithstanding His great goodness and His mercy toward them, they do set at naught His counsels, And they will not that He should be their guide.
Helaman 4:58 For behold, the dust of the earth moveth hither and thither, to the dividing asunder at the command of our great and Everlasting God.
Helaman 4:59 Yea, behold, at His voice doth the hills and the mountains tremble and quake; And by the power of His voice they are broken up and become smooth, yea, even like unto a valley;
Helaman 4:62 And thus according to His word the earth goeth back, And it appeareth unto man that the sun standeth still; Yea, and behold, this is so, for sure it is the earth that moveth and not the sun.
Helaman 4:63 And behold, also if He saith unto the waters of the great deep, "Be thou dried up!" - And it is done.
Helaman 4:64 Behold, if He saith unto this mountain, "Be thou raised up and come over and fall upon that city, that it be buried up" - And behold, it is done.
Helaman 4:65 And behold, if a man hideth up a treasure in the earth, And the Lord shall say, "Let it be accursed because of the iniquity of him that hath hid it up" - Behold, it shall be accursed.
Helaman 4:66 And if the Lord shall say, "Be thou accursed! that no man shall find thee from this time henceforth and forever" - And behold, no man getteth it henceforth and forever.
Helaman 4:67 And behold, if the Lord shalt say unto a man, "Because of thine iniquities, thou shalt be accursed forever!" - And it shall be done.
Helaman 5:4 But behold, the voice of the Lord came unto him that he should return again and prophesy unto the people whatsoever things should come into his heart.
Helaman 5:6 And he said unto them: "Behold, I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak the words of the Lord which He doth put into my heart; And behold, He hath put it into my heart to say unto this people that the sword of justice hangeth over this people; And four hundred years passeth not away save the sword of justice falleth upon this people -
Helaman 5:8 "And behold, an angel of the Lord hath declared it unto me, And he did bring glad tidings to my soul;
Helaman 5:9 And behold, I was sent unto you to declare it unto you also, that ye might have glad tidings; But behold, ye would not receive me.
Helaman 5:12 Yea, I will visit them in My fierce anger; And there shall be those of the fourth generation which shall live of your enemies to behold your utter destruction;
Helaman 5:15 Yea, wo unto this great City of Zarahemla! For behold, it is because of they which are righteous that it is saved;
Helaman 5:17 'But behold, if it were not for the righteous which are in this great city, Behold, I would cause that fire should come down out of heaven and destroy it; But behold, it is for the righteous' sake that it is spared.
Helaman 5:18 'But behold, the time cometh, ' saith the Lord, 'that when ye shall cast out the righteous from among you, Then shall ye be ripe for destruction;
Helaman 5:22 'And behold, a curse shall come upon the land, ' saith the Lord of Hosts, 'because of the people's sake-Which is upon the land, yea, because of their wickedness and their abominations.
Helaman 5:28 "Behold ye, the people of this great city, and hearken unto my words; Yea, hearken unto the words which the Lord saith; For behold, He saith that ye are cursed because of your riches,
Helaman 5:35 "Behold, ye are worse than they; For as the Lord liveth, if a prophet come among you and declareth unto you the word of the Lord which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, Ye are angry with him and cast him out and seek all manner of ways to destroy him;
Helaman 5:37 "But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall say, ' Do this and there is no iniquity, do that and ye shall not suffer ' - Yea, he will say, ' Walk after the pride of your own hearts, yea, walk after the pride of your eyes and do whatsoever your heart desireth '-And if a man shall come among you and say this, Ye will receive him and ye will say that he is a prophet;
Helaman 5:41 "Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already kindled against you! Behold, He hath cursed the land because of your iniquity; And behold, the time cometh that He curseth your riches; that it becometh slippery, that ye cannot hold them;
Helaman 5:45 "Yea, in that day shall ye say: 'O that we had remembered the Lord our God in the day that He gave us our riches! And then they would not have become slippery, that we should lose them. 'For behold, our riches are gone from us-
Helaman 5:46 Behold, we layeth a tool here and on the morrow it is gone; And behold, our swords are taken from us in the day we have sought them for battle;
Helaman 5:48 'O that we had repented in the day that the word of the Lord came unto us! For behold, the land is cursed, And all things are become slippery, And we cannot hold them.
Helaman 5:49 'Behold, we are surrounded by demons, Yea, we are encircled about by the angels of him who hath sought to destroy our souls;
Helaman 5:50 Behold, our iniquities are great! O Lord, canst Thou not turn away Thine anger from us?' "And this shall be your language in those days.
Helaman 5:51 "But behold, your days of probation are past; Ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late and your destruction is made sure;
Helaman 5:55 And behold, he saith unto them: "Behold, I give unto you a sign - For five years more cometh, And behold, then cometh the Son of God to redeem all those who shall believe on His name;
Helaman 5:56 And behold, this will I give unto you for a sign at the time of His coming - For behold, there shall be great lights in heaven, Insomuch that in the night before He cometh, there shall be no darkness, Insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was day;
Helaman 5:59 "And behold, there shall be a new star arise, such an one as ye never have beheld; And this also shall be a sign unto you.
Helaman 5:60 "And behold this is not all - There shall be many signs and wonders in heaven;
Helaman 5:63 "And behold, thus hath the Lord commanded me, by His angel, that I should come and tell this thing unto you; Yea, He hath commanded that I should prophesy these things unto you; Yea, He hath said unto me, 'Cry unto this people, Repent and prepare the way of the Lord! '
Helaman 5:68 "And behold, again, another sign I give unto you - yea, a sign of His death - For behold, He surely must die that salvation may come;
Helaman 5:70 Yea, behold, this death bringeth to pass the resurrection and redeemeth all mankind from the first death - that spiritual death, For all mankind - by the fall of Adam, being cut off from the presence of the Lord - are considered as dead, both as to things temporal and to things spiritual.
Helaman 5:71 "But behold, the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind - yea, even all mankind - and bringeth them back into the presence of the Lord;
Helaman 5:75 "But behold, as I said unto you concerning another sign - a sign of His death - Behold, in that day that He shall suffer death, the sun shall be darkened and refuse to give her light unto you, and also the moon and the stars;
Helaman 5:79 "And behold, there shall be great tempests, And there shall be many mountains laid low, like unto a valley, And there shall be many places which are now called valleys which shall become mountains, whose height thereof is great;
Helaman 5:81 "And behold, thus hath the angel spoken unto me; For he said unto me that there should be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours;
Helaman 5:85 "And now remember, remember, my brethren, That whosoever perisheth, perisheth unto himself; And whosoever doeth iniquity, doeth it unto himself; For behold, ye are free - ye are permitted to act for yourselves; For behold, God hath given unto you a knowledge and He hath made you free -
Helaman 5:87 "And now my beloved brethren, Behold, I declare unto you that except ye shall repent, your houses shall be left unto you desolate; Yea, except ye repent, your women shall have great cause to mourn in the day that they shall give suck;
Helaman 5:90 For behold, they have been a chosen people of the Lord; Yea, the people of Nephi hath He loved; And also hath He chastened them, yea, in the days of their iniquities hath He chastened them because He loveth them.
Helaman 5:91 "But behold, my brethren, the Lamanites hath He hated because their deeds have been evil continually, And this because of the iniquity of the tradition of their fathers.
Helaman 5:92 "But behold, salvation hath come unto them through the preaching of the Nephites; And for this intent hath the Lord prolonged their days.
Helaman 5:93 "And I would that ye should behold that the more part of them are in the path of their duty - And they do walk circumspectly before God, And they do observe to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, according to the law of Moses -
Helaman 5:95 "And behold, ye do know of yourselves - for ye have witnessed it - That as many of them as are brought to the knowledge of the truth and to know of the wicked and abominable traditions of their fathers and are led to believe the holy scriptures,
Helaman 5:99 "For behold, they will suffer themselves that they be trodden down and slain by their enemies and will not lift their swords against them; And this because of their faith in Christ.
Helaman 5:100 "And now because of their steadfastness - when they do believe in that thing which they do believe - For because of their firmness when they are once enlightened, Behold, the Lord shall bless them and prolong their days, notwithstanding their iniquity;
Helaman 5:106 "For behold, had the mighty works been shown unto them which have been shown unto you - Yea, unto them which have dwindled in unbelief because of the traditions of their fathers - Ye can see of yourselves that they never would again have dwindled in unbelief;
Helaman 5:108 'And now behold, ' saith the Lord concerning the people of the Nephites, 'if they will not repent and observe to do My will, I will utterly destroy them, ' saith the Lord, 'because of their unbelief, Notwithstanding the many mighty works which I have done among them; And as surely as the Lord liveth shall these things be, ' saith the Lord."
Helaman 5:114 For behold, Nephi was baptizing and prophesying and preaching, crying repentance unto the people, Showing signs and wonders, working miracles among the people, That they might know that the Christ must shortly come;
Helaman 5:117 But the more part of them did not believe in the words of Samuel; Therefore, when they saw that they could not hit him with their stones and their arrows, they cried out unto their captains, saying: "Take this fellow and bind him, for behold, he hath a devil;
Helaman 5:119 And as they went forth to lay their hands on him, Behold, he did cast himself down from the wall and did flee out of their hands, yea, even unto his own country, And began to preach and to prophesy among his own people;
Helaman 5:120 And behold, he was never heard of more among the Nephites. And thus were the affairs of the people;
Helaman 5:125 But behold, it came to pass in the ninetieth year of the reign of the judges, there were great signs given unto the people, and wonders; And the words of the prophets began to be fulfilled;
Helaman 5:128 "Some things they may have guessed right among so many; But behold, we know that all these great and marvelous works cannot come to pass which hath been spoken."
Helaman 5:132 "But behold, we know that this is a wicked tradition which has been handed down unto us by our fathers to cause us that we should believe in some great and marvelous thing which should come to pass, But not among us, but in a land which is far distant, a land which we know not;
3 Nephi 1:4 And it came to pass that in the commencement of the ninety and second year, Behold, the prophecies of the prophets began to be fulfilled more fully; For there began to be greater signs and greater miracles wrought among the people.
3 Nephi 1:6 And they began to rejoice over their brethren, saying: "Behold, the time is past and the words of Samuel are not fulfilled; Therefore, your joy and your faith concerning this thing hath been vain."
3 Nephi 1:8 But behold, they did watch steadfastly for that day and that night and that day - which should be as one day as if there were no night - that they might know that their faith had not been vain.
3 Nephi 1:12 And it came to pass that he cried mightily unto the Lord all that day; And behold, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying: "Lift up your head and be of good cheer, for behold, the time is at hand; And on this night shall the sign be given,
3 Nephi 1:14 "Behold, I come unto My own to fulfill all things which I have made known unto the children of men from the foundation of the world, And to do the will both of the Father and of the Son - of the Father because of Me, and of the Son because of My flesh.
3 Nephi 1:15 "And behold, the time is at hand, And this night shall the sign be given."
3 Nephi 1:36 And there was also a cause of much sorrow among the Lamanites; For behold, they had many children which did grow up and began to wax strong in years, That they became for themselves and were led away by some which were Zoramites, by their lyings and their flattering words, to join those Gaddianton robbers;
3 Nephi 2:2 And these were the words which were written, saying: "Lachoneus, most noble and chief governor of the land, Behold, I write this epistle unto you and do give unto you exceeding great praise because of your firmness, and also the firmness of your people, in maintaining that which ye suppose to be your right and liberty;
3 Nephi 2:9 "And behold, I swear unto you, if ye will do this with an oath, ye shall not be destroyed, But if ye will not do this, I swear unto you with an oath that on the morrow month I will command that my armies shall come down against you,
3 Nephi 2:11 "And behold, I am Giddianhi and am the governor of this, the secret society of Gaddianton, which society and the works thereof I know to be good; And they are of ancient date and they have been handed down unto us;
3 Nephi 2:15 Now behold, this Lachoneus, the governor, was a just man and could not be frightened by the demands and the threatenings of a robber;
3 Nephi 2:41 But behold, there were no wild beasts nor game in those lands which had been deserted by the Nephites, And there was no game for the robbers, save it were in the wilderness;
3 Nephi 2:49 And it came to pass that they did come up to battle, And it was in the sixth month, And behold, great and terrible was the day that they did come up to battle.
3 Nephi 2:57 And notwithstanding the threatenings and the oaths which Giddianhi had made, Behold, the Nephites did beat them, insomuch that they did fall back from before them.
3 Nephi 2:66 But behold, this was an advantage unto the Nephites, For it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long to have any effect upon the Nephites because of their much provision which they had laid up in store and because of the scantiness of provisions among the robbers;
3 Nephi 2:67 For behold, they had nothing save it were meat for their subsistence, which meat they did obtain in the wilderness.
3 Nephi 2:82 And now behold, there was not a living soul among all the people of the Nephites which did doubt in the least thing in the words of all the holy prophets which had spoken;
3 Nephi 2:93 But behold, there are records which do contain all the proceedings of this people, And a more short but a true account is given by Nephi;
3 Nephi 2:95 And behold, I do make the record on plates which I have made with mine own hands.
3 Nephi 2:96 And behold, I am called Mormon, being called after the Land of Mormon - The land in the which Alma did establish the church among this people, yea, the first church which was established among them after their transgression.
3 Nephi 2:97 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; I have been called of Him to declare His word among His people, that they might have everlasting life.
3 Nephi 3:29 Now behold, this was contrary to the laws of the land - that any man should be put to death except they had power from the governor of the land;
3 Nephi 3:36 Now behold, I will show unto you that they did not establish a king over the land, But in this same year - yea, the thirtieth year - they did destroy upon the judgment seat, yea, did murder the chief judge of the land;
3 Nephi 3:39 Now behold, there was no man among them save he had much family and many kindreds and friends, Therefore, their tribes became exceeding great.
3 Nephi 4:1 And now it came to pass that according to our record - And we know our record to be true, For behold, it was a just man which did keep the record, For he truly did many miracles in the name of Jesus;
3 Nephi 4:10 But behold, there was a more great and terrible destruction in the Land Northward; For behold, the whole face of the land was changed because of the tempests and the whirlwinds and the thunderings and the lightnings and the exceeding great quaking of the whole earth;
3 Nephi 4:15 And behold, the rocks were rent in twain, yea, they were broken up upon the face of the whole earth, Insomuch that they were found in broken fragments and in seams and in cracks upon all the face of the land.
3 Nephi 4:16 And it came to pass that when the thunderings and the lightnings and the storm and the tempest and the quakings of the earth did cease - For behold, they did last for about the space of three hours, And it was said by some that the time was greater;
3 Nephi 4:17 Nevertheless, all these great and terrible things were done in about the space of three hours - And then, behold, there was darkness upon the face of the land.
3 Nephi 4:28 "Behold, that great City Zarahemla have I burned with fire, and the inhabitants thereof.
3 Nephi 4:29 "And behold, that great City Moroni have I caused to be sunk in the depths of the sea, And the inhabitants thereof to be drowned.
3 Nephi 4:30 "And behold, that great City Moronihah have I covered with earth, And the inhabitants thereof to hide their iniquities and their abominations from before My face, That the blood of the prophets and of the saints should not come up anymore unto Me against them.
3 Nephi 4:31 "And behold, the City of Gilgal have I caused to be sunk, And the inhabitants thereof to be buried up in the depths of the earth;
3 Nephi 4:34 "And behold, the City of Gadiandi, and the City of Gadiomnah, and the City of Jacob, and the City of Gimgimno - All these have I caused to be sunk and made hills and valleys in the places thereof,
3 Nephi 4:36 "And behold, that great City Jacob-Ugath, which was inhabited by the people of King Jacob, have I caused to be burned with fire because of their sins and their wickedness, Which was above all the wickedness of the whole earth because of their secret murders and combinations;
3 Nephi 4:38 "And behold, the City of Laman and the City of Josh and the City of Gad and the City of Kishcumen have I caused to be burned with fire, and the inhabitants thereof, Because of their wickedness in casting out the prophets and stoning them which I did send to declare unto them concerning their wickedness and their abominations;
3 Nephi 4:43 Behold, Mine arm of mercy is extended toward you, And whosoever will come, him will I receive, And blessed are they which cometh unto Me.
3 Nephi 4:44 "Behold, I Am Jesus Christ, the Son of God; I created the heavens and the earth and all things that in them is;
3 Nephi 4:47 And as many as have received Me, to them have I given to become the sons of God, And even so will I to as many as shall believe on My name. "For behold, by Me redemption cometh, And in Me is the law of Moses fulfilled.
3 Nephi 4:51 "Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world - to save the world from sin; Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto Me as a little child, him will I receive, For of such is the kingdom of God.
3 Nephi 4:52 "Behold, for such I have laid down My life and have taken it up again; Therefore, repent and come unto Me, ye ends of the earth, and be saved!"
3 Nephi 4:53 And now behold, it came to pass that all the people of the land did hear these sayings and did witness of it;
3 Nephi 4:60 And now it came to pass that after the people had heard these words, Behold, they began to weep and howl again because of the loss of their kindreds and friends.
3 Nephi 4:69 And now whoso readeth, let him understand; He that hath the scriptures, let him search them and see, And behold if all these deaths and destructions - by fire and by smoke, and by tempests and by whirlwinds, and by the opening of the earth to receive them, and all these things - Are not unto the fulfilling of the prophecies of many of the holy prophets.
3 Nephi 4:70 Behold, I say unto you, Yea; Many have testified of these things at the coming of Christ and were slain because they testified of these things.
3 Nephi 4:72 Behold, our father Jacob also testified concerning a remnant of the seed of Joseph, And behold, are not we a remnant of the seed of Joseph?
3 Nephi 4:74 And it came to pass that in the ending of the thirty and fourth year, Behold, I will show unto you that the people of Nephi which were spared, and also they which had been called Lamanites which had been spared, did have great favors shown unto them and great blessings poured out upon their heads, Insomuch that soon after the ascension of Christ into heaven, He did truly manifest Himself unto them, showing His body unto them and ministering unto them;
3 Nephi 5:7 And their eyes were toward the sound thereof; And they did look steadfastly toward heaven from whence the sound came. And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard,
3 Nephi 5:8 And it saith unto them: "Behold My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified My name - Hear ye Him!"
3 Nephi 5:9 And it came to pass as they understood, they cast their eyes up again toward heaven; And behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven;
3 Nephi 5:11 And it came to pass that He stretched forth His hand and spake unto the people, saying: "Behold, I Am Jesus Christ of which the prophets testified that should come into the world;
3 Nephi 5:12 And behold, I Am the light and the life of the world; And I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given Me, And have glorified the Father in taking upon Me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning."
3 Nephi 5:24 Verily I say unto you, that whosoever repenteth of his sins through your words and desireth to be baptized in My name, On this wise shall ye baptize them: Behold, ye shall go down and stand in the water and in My name shall ye baptize them.
3 Nephi 5:25 "And now behold, these are the words which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying, 'Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.'
3 Nephi 5:27 "And after this manner shall ye baptize in My name."For behold, verily I say unto you that the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost are one; And I Am in the Father and the Father in Me and the Father and I are one;
3 Nephi 5:31 "Behold, this is not My doctrine - to stir up the hearts of men to anger against one another; But this is My doctrine - that such things should be done away.
3 Nephi 5:32 "Behold, verily, verily I say unto you, I will declare unto you My doctrine; And this is My doctrine and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto Me -
3 Nephi 5:45 And behold, He stretched forth His hand unto the multitude and cried unto them, saying: "Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve which I have chosen from among you to minister unto you and to be your servants;
3 Nephi 5:46 And unto them I have given power that they may baptize you with water; And after that ye are baptized with water, Behold, I will baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
3 Nephi 5:62 Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick and it giveth light to all that are in the house;
3 Nephi 5:66 "And behold, I have given unto you the law and the commandments of My Father, that ye shall believe in Me, And that ye shall repent of your sins and come unto Me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit;
3 Nephi 5:67 Behold, ye have the commandments before you and the law is fulfilled, Therefore, come unto Me and be ye saved;
3 Nephi 5:76 "Behold, it is written by them of old time that, ' Thou shalt not commit adultery ';
3 Nephi 5:78 "Behold, I give unto you a commandment that ye suffer none of these things to enter into your heart, For it is better that ye should deny yourselves of these things, wherein ye will take up your cross, than that ye should be cast into hell.
3 Nephi 5:84 "And behold, it is written, ' An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ';
3 Nephi 5:89 "And behold, it is written also that, ' Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy ';
3 Nephi 5:90 But behold, I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you; And pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you,
3 Nephi 6:2 For behold, ye are they which I have chosen to minister unto this people.
3 Nephi 6:4 Behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, Yet your heavenly Father feedeth them; Are ye not much better than they?
3 Nephi 6:16 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, 'Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye, ' and behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
3 Nephi 7:1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings, He cast His eyes round about on the multitude and saith unto them: "Behold, ye have heard the things which I have taught before I ascended to My Father;
3 Nephi 7:5 "Behold, I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses;
3 Nephi 7:6 Behold, I Am He that gave the law, And I Am He which covenanted with My people Israel; Therefore, the law in Me is fulfilled, For I have come to fulfill the law, Therefore, it hath an end.
3 Nephi 7:7 "Behold, I do not destroy the prophets, For as many as have not been fulfilled in Me, verily I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled;
3 Nephi 7:9 For behold, the covenants which I have made with My people is not all fulfilled, But the law which was given unto Moses hath an end in Me.
3 Nephi 7:10 "Behold, I Am the law and the light; Look unto Me and endure to the end and ye shall live, For unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life.
3 Nephi 7:11 "Behold, I have given unto you the commandments, Therefore, keep My commandments -
3 Nephi 7:14 And behold, this is the land of your inheritance and the Father hath given it unto you;
3 Nephi 7:23 "But behold, ye have both heard My voice and seen Me, And ye are My sheep, And ye are numbered among them which the Father hath given Me;
3 Nephi 7:31 'Behold, because of their belief in Me, ' saith the Father, 'and because of the unbelief of you, O house of Israel, In the latter day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that the fullness of these things shall be made known unto them.
3 Nephi 7:35 And if they shall do all these things, And shall reject the fullness of My gospel, Behold, ' saith the Father, 'I will bring the fullness of My gospel from among them;
3 Nephi 7:38 'But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto Me, ' saith the Father, 'Behold, they shall be numbered among My people, O house of Israel;
3 Nephi 8:1 Behold, now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, He looked round about again on the multitude, And He saith unto them: "Behold, My time is at hand;
3 Nephi 8:5 And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus spoken, He cast His eyes round about again on the multitude, And behold, they were in tears and did look steadfastly upon Him as if they would ask Him to tarry a little longer with them;
3 Nephi 8:6 And He saith unto them: "Behold, My bowels are filled with compassion toward you - Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither.
3 Nephi 8:16 And when He had said these words, He Himself also knelt upon the earth, And behold, He prayed unto the Father, And the things which He prayed cannot be written, And the multitude did bear record which heard Him.
3 Nephi 8:22 And they arose from the earth; And He saith unto them: "Blessed are ye because of your faith! And now behold, My joy is full."
3 Nephi 8:24 And when He had done this, He wept again; And He spake unto the multitude and saith unto them: "Behold your little ones!"
3 Nephi 8:25 And as they looked to behold, they cast their eyes toward heaven, And they saw the heavens open, And they saw angels descending out of heaven, as it were, in the midst of fire; And they came down and encircled those little ones about,
3 Nephi 8:32 And when the multitude had eaten and were filled, He saith unto the disciples: "Behold, there shall one be ordained among you, And to him will I give power that he shall break bread and bless it and give it unto the people of My church, unto all they which shall believe and be baptized in My name;
3 Nephi 8:49 Behold, I Am the light - I have set an example before you."
3 Nephi 8:50 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spake these words unto His disciples, He turned again unto the multitude and saith unto them: "Behold, verily, verily I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always, lest ye enter into temptation;
3 Nephi 8:51 For Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; Therefore, ye must always pray unto the Father in My name; And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive - And behold, it shall be given unto you;
3 Nephi 8:53 "And behold, ye shall meet together oft, And ye shall not forbid any man from coming unto you when ye shall meet together, But suffer them that they may come unto you and forbid them not;
3 Nephi 8:55 Behold, I Am the light which ye shall hold up. "That which ye have seen Me do -
3 Nephi 8:56 Behold, ye have seen I have prayed unto the Father, And ye all have witnessed and ye see that I have commanded that none of you should go away, But rather have commanded that ye should come unto Me that ye might feel and see -
3 Nephi 8:59 "Behold, verily, verily I say unto you, I give unto you another commandment, And then I must go unto My Father, that I must fulfill other commandments which He hath given Me.
3 Nephi 8:60 "And now behold, this is the commandment which I give unto you - That ye shall not suffer anyone knowingly to partake of My flesh and blood unworthily when ye shall minister it, For whoso eateth and drinketh My flesh and blood unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to his soul.
3 Nephi 8:63 But if he repenteth not, he shall not be numbered among My people, that he may not destroy My people, For behold, I know My sheep and they are numbered;
3 Nephi 9:4 And it came to pass that on the morrow when the multitude was gathered together, Behold, Nephi and his brother whom he had raised from the dead, whose name was Timothy, and also his son, whose name was Jonas, and also Mathoni and Mathonihah, his brother, and Kumen and Kumenonhi and Jeremiah and Shemnon and Jonas and Zedekiah and Isaiah - Now these were the names of the disciples whom Jesus had chosen -
3 Nephi 9:6 And behold, the multitude was so great that they did cause that they should be separated into twelve bodies,
3 Nephi 9:7 And the twelve did teach the multitude; But behold, they did cause that the multitude should kneel down upon the face of the earth and should pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus,
3 Nephi 9:10 And when they had ministered those same words which Jesus had spoken, nothing varying from the words which Jesus had spoken, Behold, they knelt again and prayed to the Father in the name of Jesus; And they did pray for that which they most desired, And they desired that the Holy Ghost should be given unto them;
3 Nephi 9:15 And behold, they were encircled about as if it were fire; And it came down from heaven and the multitude did witness it and do bear record; And angels did come down out of heaven and did minister unto them.
3 Nephi 9:16 And it came to pass that while the angels were ministering unto the disciples, Behold, Jesus came and stood in the midst and ministered unto them.
3 Nephi 9:19 And behold, they began to pray, And they did pray unto Jesus, calling Him their Lord and their God.
3 Nephi 9:24 And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus prayed unto the Father, He came unto His disciples, And behold, they did still continue without ceasing to pray unto Him; And they did not multiply many words, for it was given unto them what they should pray, And they were filled with desire.
3 Nephi 9:25 And it came to pass that Jesus beheld them as they did pray unto Him, And His countenance did smile upon them, And the light of His countenance did shine upon them; And behold, they were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus;
3 Nephi 9:26 And behold, the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness - yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof.
3 Nephi 9:31 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spake these words, He came again unto His disciples; And behold, they did pray steadfastly without ceasing unto Him; And He did smile upon them again; And behold, they were white even as Jesus.
3 Nephi 9:45 Now when the multitude had all eaten and drank, Behold, they were filled with the Spirit; And they did cry out with one voice and gave glory to Jesus whom they both saw and heard.
3 Nephi 9:46 And it came to pass that when they had all given glory unto Jesus, He saith unto them: "Behold, now I finish the commandment which the Father hath commanded Me concerning this people which are a remnant of the house of Israel.
3 Nephi 9:47 "Ye remember that I spake unto you and said that when the words of Isaiah should be fulfilled - Behold, they are written, Ye have them before you; Therefore, search them -
3 Nephi 9:55 And thou shalt beat in pieces many people; And I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, And their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth; And behold, I Am He which doeth it.
3 Nephi 9:58 And behold, this people will I establish in this land, unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob, And it shall be a New Jerusalem.
3 Nephi 9:60 "Behold, I Am He of whom Moses spake, saying: 'A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren like unto me; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you.
3 Nephi 9:63 And behold, ye are the children of the prophets; And ye are of the house of Israel; And ye are of the covenant which the Father made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham: ' And in thy Seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed '-
3 Nephi 9:81 'Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently - He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
3 Nephi 9:87 "And behold, this is the thing which I will give unto you for a sign - "For verily I say unto you, that when these things which I deliver unto you - And which I shall deliver unto you hereafter of Myself and by the power of the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you of the Father - Shall be made known unto the Gentiles,
3 Nephi 9:96 "But behold, the life of My servant shall be in My hand; Therefore, they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred because of them,
3 Nephi 10:19 'O thou afflicted, tossed with tempests and not comforted, Behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
3 Nephi 10:23 'Behold, they shall surely gather together against thee, not by Me. Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
3 Nephi 10:24 'Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, And that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the waster to destroy.
3 Nephi 10:26 "And now behold, I say unto you that ye had ought to search these things -
3 Nephi 10:33 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had said these words, He saith unto them again - after He had expounded all the scriptures unto them which they had received - He saith unto them: "Behold, other scriptures I would that ye should write that ye have not."
3 Nephi 11:4 And these are the words which He did tell unto them, saying: "Thus said the Father unto Malachi: ' Behold, I will send My messenger, And he shall prepare the way before Me, And the Lord, whom ye seek shall suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant whom ye delight in - Behold, He shall come, ' saith the Lord of Hosts.
3 Nephi 11:22 'For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; And all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble. And the day that cometh shall burn them up, ' saith the Lord of Hosts, 'That it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
3 Nephi 11:26 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
3 Nephi 12:1 And now there cannot be written in this book even an hundredth part of the things which Jesus did truly teach unto the people; But behold, the plates of Nephi do contain the more part of the things which He taught the people;
3 Nephi 12:5 Behold, I was about to write them all which were engraven upon the plates of Nephi, But the Lord forbid it, saying, "I will try the faith of My people"; Therefore, I, Mormon, do write the things which have been commanded me of the Lord.
3 Nephi 12:6 And now I, Mormon, make an end of my sayings and proceed to write the things which have been commanded me; Therefore, I would that ye should behold that the Lord truly did teach the people for the space of three days; And after that, He did show Himself unto them oft and did break bread oft and bless it and give it unto them.
3 Nephi 12:9 Behold, it came to pass on the morrow that the multitude gathered themselves together, And they both saw and heard these children, yea, even babes did open their mouths and utter marvelous things; And the things which they did utter were forbidden that there should not any man write them.
3 Nephi 12:25 "Behold, I have given unto you My gospel, And this is the gospel which I have given unto you - That I came into the world to do the will of My Father because My Father sent Me;
3 Nephi 12:29 "And it shall come to pass that whoso repenteth and is baptized in My name shall be filled; And if he endureth to the end, Behold, him will I hold guiltless before My Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world;
3 Nephi 13:2 For behold, out of the books which have been written, and which shall be written, shall this people be judged, For by them should their works be known unto men.
3 Nephi 13:3 "And behold, all things are written by the Father; Therefore, out of the books which shall be written shall the world be judged.
3 Nephi 13:7 "And now behold, My joy is great, even unto fullness, because of you, and also this generation; Yea, and even the Father rejoiceth, and also all the holy angels, because of you and this generation, For none of them are lost.
3 Nephi 13:8 "Behold, I would that ye should understand - For I mean them which are now alive of this generation; And none of them are lost; And in them I have fullness of joy.
3 Nephi 13:9 "But behold, it sorroweth Me because of the fourth generation from this generation, For they are led away captive by him, even as was the son of perdition; For they will sell Me for silver and for gold, And for that which moth doth corrupt and which thieves can break through and steal;
3 Nephi 13:17 And He saith unto them: "Behold, I know your thoughts; And ye have desired the thing which John My beloved, which was with Me in My ministry before that I was lifted up by the Jews, desired of Me;
3 Nephi 13:18 Therefore, more blessed are ye, for ye shall never taste of death, But ye shall live to behold all the doings of the Father unto the children of men, Even until all things shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father, when I shall come in My glory with the powers of heaven;
3 Nephi 13:25 And behold, the heavens were opened, And they were caught up into heaven and saw and heard unspeakable things;
3 Nephi 13:27 And whether they were in the body or out of the body, they could not tell; For it did seem unto them like a transfiguration of them, That they were changed from this body of flesh into an immortal state that they could behold the things of God.
3 Nephi 13:34 And twice were they cast into a den of wild beasts, And behold, they did play with the beasts as a child with a suckling lamb and received no harm.
3 Nephi 13:38 Behold, I was about to write the names of those who were never to taste of death; But the Lord forbade, Therefore, I write them not, for they are hid from the world;
3 Nephi 13:39 But behold, I have seen them and they have ministered unto me; And behold, they will be among the Gentiles and the Gentiles knoweth them not;
3 Nephi 13:49 And now behold, as I spoke concerning them whom the Lord had chosen, Yea, even three which were caught up into the heavens, that I knew not whether they were cleansed from mortality to immortality;
3 Nephi 13:50 But behold, since I wrote I have inquired of the Lord, And He hath made it manifest unto me that there must needs be a change wrought upon their bodies or else it needs be that they must taste of death;
3 Nephi 13:54 And now behold I say unto you, that when the Lord shall see fit in His wisdom that these sayings shall come unto the Gentiles according to His word, Then ye may know that the covenant which the Father hath made with the children of Israel concerning their restoration to the lands of their inheritance is already beginning to be fulfilled,
3 Nephi 13:56 And ye need not imagine in your hearts that the words which have been spoken are vain; For behold, the Lord will remember His covenant which He hath made unto His people of the house of Israel.
3 Nephi 13:57 And when ye shall see these sayings coming forth among you, Then ye need not any longer spurn at the doings of the Lord; For the sword of His justice is in His right hand, And behold, at that day, if ye shall spurn at His doings, He will cause it that it shall soon overtake you.
3 Nephi 13:61 Yea, and ye need not any longer hiss, nor spurn, nor make game of the Jews, nor of any of the remnant of the house of Israel; For behold, the Lord remembereth His covenant unto them, And He will do unto them according to that which He hath sworn;
3 Nephi 14:1 Hearken, O ye Gentiles, And hear the words of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, which He hath commanded me that I should speak concerning you. For behold, He commandeth me that I should write, saying:
4 Nephi 1:1 And it came to pass that the thirty and fourth year passed away, and also the thirty and fifth; And behold, the disciples of Jesus had formed a church of Christ in all the lands round about,
4 Nephi 1:11 And now behold, it came to pass that the people of Nephi did wax strong and did multiply exceeding fast and became an exceeding fair and delightsome people;
Mormon 1:5 "And behold, ye shall take the plates of Nephi unto yourself, And the remainder shall ye leave in the place where they are, And ye shall engrave upon the plates of Nephi all the things that ye have observed concerning this people."
Mormon 1:17 And I did endeavor to preach unto this people, But my mouth was shut and I was forbidden that I should preach unto them; For behold, they had willfully rebelled against their God, And the beloved disciples were taken away out of the land because of their iniquity.
Mormon 1:29 But behold, the land was filled with robbers and with Lamanites; And notwithstanding the great destruction which hung over my people, they did not repent of their evil doings;
Mormon 1:32 And behold, I withstood him with forty and two thousand; And it came to pass that I beat him with my army that he fled before me.
Mormon 1:33 And behold, all this was done and three hundred and thirty years had passed away.
Mormon 1:34 And it came to pass that the Nephites began to repent of their iniquity and began to cry, even as had been prophesied by Samuel the prophet; For behold, no man could keep that which was his own, for the thieves and the robbers and the murderers and the magic art and the witchcraft which was in the land;
Mormon 1:37 But behold, this my joy was vain, for their sorrowing was not unto repentance because of the goodness of God, But it was rather the sorrowing of the damned because the Lord would not always suffer them to take happiness in sin.
Mormon 1:44 And behold, I had gone according to the words of Ammoron and taken the plates of Nephi, And did make a record according to the words of Ammoron;
Mormon 1:45 And upon the plates of Nephi I did make a full account of all the wickedness and abominations, But upon these plates, I did forbear to make a full account of their wickedness and abominations; For behold, a continual scene of wickedness and abominations has been before mine eyes ever since I have been sufficient to behold the ways of man.
Mormon 1:58 But behold, we did go forth against the Lamanites and the robbers of Gaddianton until we had again taken possession of the lands of our inheritance.
Mormon 1:64 And behold, I had employed my people the Nephites in preparing their lands and their arms against the time of battle.
Mormon 1:67 And behold, they did harden their hearts against the Lord their God.
Mormon 1:77 Behold, I had led them - notwithstanding their wickedness - I had led them many times to battle, And I had loved them according to the love of God which was in me with all my heart;
Mormon 1:80 And when they had sworn by all that had been forbidden them by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that they would go up unto their enemies to battle and avenge themselves of the blood of their brethren, Behold, the voice of the Lord came unto me, saying: "Vengeance is Mine and I will repay! And because this people repented not after that I had delivered them, Behold, they shall be cut off from the face of the earth!"
Mormon 1:83 Yea, behold, I write unto all the ends of the earth, Yea, unto you, twelve tribes of Israel, which shall be judged according to your works by the twelve whom Jesus chose to be His disciples in the Land of Jerusalem,
Mormon 2:6 But behold, the judgments of God will overtake the wicked; And it is by the wicked that the wicked are punished; For it is the wicked that stirreth up the hearts of the children of men unto bloodshed.
Mormon 2:27 But behold, I was without hopes, for I knew the judgments of the Lord which should come upon them; For they repented not of their iniquities, but did struggle for their lives without calling upon that Being who had created them.
Mormon 2:28 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did come against us as we had fled to the City of Jordan; But behold, they were driven back, that they did not take the city at that time.
Mormon 2:34 And now behold, I, Mormon, do not desire to harrow up the souls of men in casting before them such an awful scene of blood and carnage as was laid before mine eyes;
Mormon 2:37 And now behold, this I speak unto their seed, and also to the Gentiles which hath care for the house of Israel, that realize and know from whence their blessings come;
Mormon 2:40 And this is the commandment which I have received. And behold, they shall come forth according to the commandment of the Lord when He shall see fit in His wisdom.
Mormon 2:41 And behold, they shall go unto the unbelieving of the Jews; And for this intent shall they go: That they may be persuaded that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God;
Mormon 2:45 For behold, the Spirit of the Lord hath already ceased to strive with their fathers, And they are without Christ and God in the world, And they are driven about as chaff before the wind.
Mormon 2:47 But now behold, they are led about by Satan, even as chaff is driven before the wind, or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves without sail or anchor or without anything wherewith to steer her; And even as she is, so are they.
Mormon 2:48 And behold, the Lord hath reserved their blessing, which they might have received in the land, for the Gentiles which shall possess the land.
Mormon 2:49 But behold, it shall come to pass that they shall be driven and scattered by the Gentiles; And after that they have been driven and scattered by the Gentiles, Behold, then will the Lord remember the covenant which He made unto Abraham and unto all the house of Israel;
Mormon 3:7 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 that 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 -
Mormon 3:9 And it came to pass that my people, with their wives and their children, did now behold the armies of the Lamanites marching toward them; And with that awful fear of death which fills the breasts of all the wicked, did they await to receive them.
Mormon 3:14 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 which were hewn down, being led in the front by me; And we also beheld the ten thousand of my people which were led by my son Moroni.
Mormon 3:15 And behold, the ten thousand of Gidgiddonah had fallen, and he also in the midst; And Lamah had fallen, with his ten thousand; And Gilgal had fallen, with his ten thousand; And Limhah had fallen, with his ten thousand; And Jeneum had fallen, with his ten thousand; And Cumenihah and Moronihah and Antionum and Shiblom and Shem and Josh had fallen, with their ten thousand each.
Mormon 3:19 "Behold, if ye had not done this, ye would not have fallen; But behold, ye are fallen and I mourn your loss;
Mormon 3:21 "But behold, ye are gone and my sorrows cannot bring your return; And the day soon cometh that your mortal must put on immortality, And these bodies which are now moldering in corruption must soon become incorruptible bodies;
Mormon 3:23 "O that ye had repented before that this great destruction had come upon you! But behold, ye are gone; And the Father, yea, the Eternal Father of heaven knoweth your state, And He doeth with you according to His justice and mercy."
Mormon 3:24 And now behold, I would speak somewhat unto the remnant of this people which are spared, If it so be that God may give unto them my words, that they may know of the things of their fathers; Yea, I speak unto you, ye remnant of the house of Israel, And these are the words which I speak: Know ye that ye are of the house of Israel!
Mormon 3:31 For behold, this is written for the intent that ye may believe that; And if ye believe that, ye will believe this also; And if ye believe this, ye will know concerning your fathers, and also the marvelous works which were wrought by the power of God among them.
Mormon 4:1 Behold, I, Moroni, do finish the record of my father Mormon; Behold, I have but few things to write, which things I have been commanded of my father.
Mormon 4:2 And now it came to pass that after the great and tremendous battle at Cumorah, Behold, the Nephites which had escaped into the Country Southward were hunted by the Lamanites until they were all destroyed, And my father also was killed by them; And I, even I, remaineth alone to write the sad tale of the destruction of my people.
Mormon 4:3 But behold, they are gone and I fulfill the commandment of my father;
Mormon 4:5 Behold, my father hath made this record and he hath written the intent thereof;
Mormon 4:6 And behold, I would write it also if I had room upon the plates, But I have not; And ore I have none, for I am alone; My father hath been slain in battle, and all my kinsfolk, And I have not friends, nor whither to go; And how long that the Lord will suffer that I may live, I know not.
Mormon 4:7 Behold, four hundred years have passed since the coming of our Lord and Savior.
Mormon 4:8 And behold, the Lamanites have hunted my people the Nephites down from city to city and from place to place, even until they are no more, And great has been their fall, Yea, great and marvelous is the destruction of my people the Nephites;
Mormon 4:9 And behold, it is the hand of the Lord which hath done it.
Mormon 4:10 And behold also, the Lamanites are at war one with another; And the whole face of this land is one continual round of murder and bloodshed; And no one knoweth the end of the war.
Mormon 4:11 And now behold, I say no more concerning them, For there are none, save it be Lamanites and robbers, that do exist upon the face of the land;
Mormon 4:13 But behold, my father and I have seen them and they have ministered unto us.
Mormon 4:15 Behold, I am Moroni, And were it possible I would make all things known unto you.
Mormon 4:16 Behold, I make an end of speaking concerning this people;
Mormon 4:22 But behold, we know no fault; Nevertheless, God knoweth all things; Therefore, he that condemneth, let him beware lest he shall be in danger of hell fire.
Mormon 4:24 For behold, the same that judgeth rashly shall be judged rashly again; For according to his works shall his wages be; Therefore, he that smiteth shall be smitten again of the Lord.
Mormon 4:25 Behold what the scriptures saith: "'Man shall not smite, neither shall he judge; For judgment is Mine, ' saith the Lord; 'And vengeance is Mine also, and I will repay.'"
Mormon 4:27 Search the prophecies of Isaiah; Behold, I cannot write them.
Mormon 4:28 Yea, behold, I say unto you that those saints which have gone before me, which have possessed this land, shall cry - Yea, even from the dust will they cry unto the Lord - And as the Lord liveth, He will remember the covenant which He hath made with them.
Mormon 4:32 And behold, their prayers were also in behalf of him that the Lord should suffer to bring these things forth;
Mormon 4:44 Behold! look ye unto the revelations of God; For behold, the time cometh at that day when all these things must be fulfilled.
Mormon 4:45 Behold, the Lord hath shown unto me great and marvelous things concerning that which must shortly come at that day when these things shall come forth among you.
Mormon 4:46 Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, And yet ye are not;
Mormon 4:47 But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me and I know your doing, And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts;
Mormon 4:50 For behold, ye do love money, and your substances, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, More than ye love the poor, and the needy, the sick, and the afflicted.
Mormon 4:56 Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you! And the time soon cometh that He avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for He will not suffer their cries any longer.
Mormon 4:58 Behold, will ye believe in the day of your visitation - behold, when the Lord shall come? Yea, even that great day when the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Mormon 4:60 Then will ye longer deny the Christ or can ye behold the Lamb of God?
Mormon 4:63 Behold, I say unto you that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and a just God under a consciousness of your filthiness before Him, than ye would to dwell with the damned souls in hell;
Mormon 4:64 For behold, when ye shall be brought to see your nakedness before God, and also the glory of God and the holiness of Jesus Christ, It will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire upon you.
Mormon 4:67 Behold I say unto you, he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of Christ; Yea, they have not read the scriptures; If so, they do not understand them;
Mormon 4:70 But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; And it is that same God which created the heavens and the earth and all things that in them is.
Mormon 4:71 Behold, He created Adam, And by Adam, came the fall of man, And because of the fall of man, came Jesus Christ, even the Father and the Son, And because of Jesus Christ, came the redemption of man,
Mormon 4:76 Behold, I say unto you, Nay; And God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.
Mormon 4:77 Behold, are not the things that God hath wrought marvelous in our eyes? Yea, and who can comprehend the marvelous works of God?
Mormon 4:82 And behold I say unto you, He changeth not; If so, He would cease to be God; And He ceaseth not to be God, And is a God of miracles;
Mormon 4:84 Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, Whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ, it shall be granted them; And this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.
Mormon 4:85 For behold, thus saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God, unto His disciples which should tarry; Yea, and also to all His disciples in the hearing of the multitude:
Mormon 4:89 And now behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord? Who can deny His sayings?
Mormon 4:91 Behold, all ye that are despisers of the works of the Lord - for ye shall wonder and perish -
Mormon 4:96 Behold, I speak unto you as though I spake from the dead, for I know that ye shall have my words;
Mormon 4:98 And now behold, we have written this record according to our knowledge in the characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian, Being handed down and altered by us according to our manner of speech;
Mormon 4:99 And if our plates had been sufficiently large, we should have written in the Hebrew, But the Hebrew hath been altered by us also; And if we could have written in the Hebrew, Behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record.
Mormon 4:102 And behold, these things which we have desired concerning our brethren - yea, even their restoration to the knowledge of Christ - is according to the prayers of all the saints which have dwelt in the land.
Ether 1:5 But behold, I give not the full account, But a part of the account I give from the Tower down until they were destroyed; And on this wise do I give the account.
Ether 1:31 And now we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land - That it is a Land of Promise and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, Or they shall be swept off when the fullness of His wrath shall come upon them;
Ether 1:32 And the fullness of His wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity; For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; Wherefore, he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off, For it is the everlasting decrees of God -
Ether 1:35 Behold, this is a choice land; And whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage and from captivity and from all other nations under heaven, If they will but serve the God of the land which is Jesus Christ, which hath been manifested by the things which we have written.
Ether 1:36 And now I proceed with my record. For behold, it came to pass that the Lord did bring Jared and his brethren forth, even to that great sea which divideth the lands;
Ether 1:48 And behold, O Lord, in them there is no light; Whither shall we steer?
Ether 1:50 And the Lord said unto the brother of Jared: "Behold, thou shalt make a hole in the top thereof, and also in the bottom thereof, And when thou shalt suffer for air, thou shalt unstop the hole thereof and receive air;
Ether 1:51 And if it so be that the water come in upon thee, Behold, ye shall stop the hole thereof, that ye may not perish in the flood."
Ether 1:53 And he cried again unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, behold, I have done even as Thou hast commanded me, And I have prepared the vessels for my people, And behold, there is no light in them;
Ether 1:54 Behold, O Lord, wilt Thou suffer that we shall cross this great water in darkness?"
Ether 1:56 For behold, ye cannot have windows, for they will be dashed in pieces, Neither shall ye take fire with you, for ye shall not go by the light of fire; For behold, ye shall be as a whale in the midst of the sea, for the mountain waves shall dash upon you.
Ether 1:58 And behold, I prepare you against these things; For howbeit, ye cannot cross this great deep, save I prepare you against the waves of the sea, and the winds which have gone forth, and the floods which shall come;
Ether 1:62 Now behold, O Lord, and do not be angry with Thy servant because of his weakness before Thee, For we know that Thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens and that we are unworthy before Thee -
Ether 1:64 "Behold, O Lord, Thou hast smitten us because of our iniquity and hath driven us forth, And for this many years we have been in the wilderness; Nevertheless, Thou hast been merciful unto us.
Ether 1:65 "O Lord, look upon me in pity and turn away Thine anger from this Thy people, And suffer not that they shall go forth across this raging deep in darkness, But behold these things which I have molten out of the rock.
Ether 1:67 Behold, O Lord, Thou canst do this; We know that Thou art able to show forth great power which looks small unto the understanding of men."
Ether 1:68 And it came to pass that when the brother of Jared had said these words, Behold, the Lord stretched forth His hand and touched the stones one by one with His finger;
Ether 1:76 And when he had said these words, Behold, the Lord showed Himself unto him and said: "Because thou knowest these things, ye are redeemed from the fall; Therefore, ye are brought back into My presence; Therefore, I show Myself unto you.
Ether 1:77 "Behold, I Am He which was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem My people; Behold, I Am Jesus Christ, I Am the Father and the Son;
Ether 1:81 Behold, this body which ye now behold is the body of My Spirit; And man have I created after the body of My Spirit; And even as I appear unto thee to be in the Spirit, will I appear unto My people in the flesh."
Ether 1:86 And it came to pass that the Lord said unto the brother of Jared: "Behold, thou shalt not suffer these things which ye have seen and heard to go forth unto the world until the time cometh that I shall glorify My name in the flesh; Wherefore, ye shall treasure up the things which ye have seen and heard and show it to no man.
Ether 1:87 "And behold, when ye shall come unto Me, ye shall write them and shall seal them up, that no one can interpret them, For ye shall write them in a language that they cannot be read;
Ether 1:88 And behold, these two stones will I give unto thee, And ye shall seal them up also with the things which ye shall write;
Ether 1:89 For behold, the language which ye shall write, I have confounded; Wherefore, I will cause in Mine own due time that these stones shall magnify to the eyes of men these things which ye shall write."
Ether 1:98 Behold, I have written upon these plates the very things which the brother of Jared saw; And there never was greater things made manifest than that which was made manifest unto the brother of Jared; Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me to write them, And I have written them.
Ether 1:108 For behold, I Am the Father; I Am the light and the life and the truth of the world.
Ether 1:111 "Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness and hardness of heart and blindness of mind, Then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you -
Ether 1:117 And behold, it is I that hath spoken it. Amen."
Ether 2:2 And behold, ye may be privileged that ye may show the plates unto those who shall assist to bring forth this work; And unto three shall they be shown by the power of God; Wherefore, they shall know of a surety that these things are true.
Ether 3:2 For it came to pass that after that the Lord had prepared the stones which the brother of Jared had carried up into the mount, the brother of Jared came down out of the mount; And he did put forth the stones into the vessels which were prepared, one in each end thereof, And behold, they did give light unto the vessels thereof;
Ether 3:26 And now behold, this was grievous unto them;
Ether 3:81 Behold, is there not an account concerning them of old, that they by their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory?
Ether 3:82 "And now therefore, let my father send for Akish, the son of Kimnor; And behold, I am fair, And I will dance before him, And I will please him that he will desire me to wife; Wherefore, if he shall desire of thee that ye shall give unto him me to wife, Then shall ye say, 'I will give her if ye will bring unto me the head of my father the king.'"
Ether 3:95 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation - Behold, they shall be destroyed; For the Lord will not suffer that the blood of His saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto Him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet He avengeth them not.
Ether 4:2 Therefore, behold, it came to pass that because of the secret combinations of Akish and his friends, Behold, they did overthrow the kingdom of Omer; Nevertheless, the Lord was merciful unto Omer, and also to his sons and to his daughters which were not or which did not seek his destruction;
Ether 4:82 And when Hearthom had reigned twenty and four years, Behold, the kingdom was taken away from him,
Ether 5:11 Behold, it was by faith that they of old were called after the holy order of God; Wherefore, by faith was the law of Moses given.
Ether 5:14 Behold, it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused the prison to tumble to the earth.
Ether 5:15 Behold, it was the faith of Nephi and Lehi that wrought the change upon the Lamanites, that they were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
Ether 5:16 Behold, it was the faith of Ammon and his brethren which wrought so great a miracle among the Lamanites; Yea, and even all they which wrought miracles wrought them by faith, Even those which were before Christ, and also them which were after.
Ether 5:20 And behold, we have seen in this record that one of these was the brother of Jared; For so great was his faith in God that when God put forth His finger, He could not hide it from the sight of the brother of Jared because of his word which he had spoken unto Him, which word he had obtained by faith;
Ether 5:25 "Behold, Thou hast not made us mighty in writing like unto the brother of Jared, For Thou madest him that the things which he wrote were mighty, even as Thou art, unto the overpowering of man to read them;
Ether 5:26 Thou hast also made our words powerful and great, even that we cannot write them; Wherefore, when we write, we behold our weakness and stumble because of the placing of our words; And I fear lest the Gentiles shall mock at our words."
Ether 5:29 "Behold, I will show unto the Gentiles their weakness, And I will show unto them that faith, hope and charity bringeth unto Me the fountain of all righteousness."
Ether 6:2 For behold, they rejected all the words of Ether; For he truly told them of all things from the beginning of man, And how that after the waters had receded from off the face of this land, it became a choice land above all other lands, a chosen land of the Lord -
Ether 6:4 Behold, Ether saw the days of Christ; And he spake concerning a New Jerusalem upon this land - And he spake also concerning the house of Israel and the Jerusalem from whence Lehi should come - After that it should be destroyed, it should be built up again a holy city unto the Lord;
