54 And after that they were chastened by the voice of the Lord, they did turn away their anger and did repent of their sins insomuch that the Lord did bless us again with food, that we did not perish.
55 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey in the wilderness; And we did travel nearly eastward from that time forth;
56 And we did travail and wade through much affliction in the wilderness; And our women bore children in the wilderness;
57 And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; And they began to bear their journeyings without murmuring.
58 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled;
59 And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God, He doth nourish them and strengthen them and provide ways and means whereby they can accomplish the thing which He hath commanded them;
60 Wherefore, He did provide ways and means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness.
61 And we did sojourn for the space of many years, yea, even eight years in the wilderness.
62 And we did come to the land which we called Bountiful because of its much fruit, and also wild honey;
63 And all these things were prepared of the Lord that we might not perish;
64 And we beheld the sea which we called Irreantum, which being interpreted is "many waters."
