people of Zarahemla, who was a descendant of Mulek, and those who
came with him into the wilderness.
Mosiah 25:3
3 And there were not so many of the people of Nephi and of the
people of Zarahemla as there were of the Lamanites; yea, they
were not half so numerous.
Mosiah 25:4
4 And now all the people of Nephi were assembled together, and
also all the people of Zarahemla, and they were gathered together
in two bodies.
Mosiah 25:5
5 And it came to pass that Mosiah did read, and caused to be
read, the records of Zeniff to his people; yea, he read the
records of the people of Zeniff, from the time they left the land
of Zarahemla until they returned again.
Mosiah 25:6
