68 And in the morning the Lord caused a deep sleep to come upon the Lamanites, Yea, and all their taskmasters were in a profound sleep.
69 And it came to pass that Alma and his people departed into the wilderness; And when they had traveled all day, they pitched their tents in a valley; And they called the name of the valley Alma because he led their way in the wilderness.

74 Therefore, get thee out of this land, And I will stop the Lamanites in this valley, that they come no further in pursuit of this people."
75 And it came to pass that they departed out of the valley and took their journey into the wilderness.
76 And it came to pass that after they had been in the wilderness twelve days, they arrived to the Land of Zarahemla; And King Mosiah did also receive them with joy.
77 And now King Mosiah caused that all the people should be gathered together.
78 Now there were not so many of the children of Nephi, or so many of those which were descendants of Nephi, as there were of the people of Zarahemla, which was a descendant of Mulek and those which came with him into the wilderness;
