Alma 8:60 - Alma 8:70
60 And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums; and an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums; and an onti was as great as them all.
61 Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their reckoning, a shiblon is half of a senum: therefore a shiblon for half a measure of barley; and a shiblum is a half of a shiblon; and a leah is the half of a shiblum.
62 Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.
63 Now this is their number, according to their reckoning.
64 Now it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ;
65 Therefore they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ;
66 That they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.
67 And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you?
68 Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which was good; therefore he said unto Amulek, Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?
69 And Amulek said unto him, Yea, I will if it be according to the Spirit of the Lord which is in me; for I shall say nothing which is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord.
70 And Zeezrom said unto him, Behold here are six onties of silver, and all these will I give thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a supreme being.
