. And behold they are many, and he
knoweth as well all things which shall befall us as he knoweth of
our iniquities;

Helaman 8:9
9 Yea, and behold, if he had not been a prophet he could not
have testified concerning those things.

Helaman 8:10
10 And it came to pass that those people who sought to destroy
Nephi were compelled because of their fear, that they did not lay
their hands on him; therefore he began again to speak unto them,
seeing that he had gained favor in the eyes of some, insomuch
that the remainder of them did fear.

Helaman 8:11
11 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, who
were our fathers, came through upon dry ground, and the waters
closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up?

Helaman 8:12
12 And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power, then
why should ye dispute among yourselves, and say that he hath

15 And as many as should look upon that serpent should live,
even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith,
having a contrite spirit, might live, even unto that life which
is eternal.

Helaman 8:16
16 And now behold, Moses did not only testify of these things,
but also all the holy prophets, from his days even to the days of
Abraham.

Helaman 8:17
17 Yea, and behold, Abraham saw of his coming, and was filled
with gladness and did rejoice.

Helaman 8:18
18 Yea, and behold I say unto you, that Abraham not only knew of
these things, but there were many before the days of Abraham who
were called by the order of God; yea, even after the order of his
