being one of the most expert among them, having much business to do among the people. Alma 10:32 32 Now the object of these lawyers was to get gain; and they got gain according to their employ. Alma 11 Chapter 11 Alma 11:1 1 Now it was in the law of Mosiah that every man who was a judge of the law, or those who were appointed to be judges, should receive wages according to the time which they labored to judge those who were brought before them to be judged. Alma 11:2 2 Now if a man owed another, and he would not pay that which he did owe, he was complained of to the judge; and the judge executed authority, and sent forth officers that the man should be brought before him; and he judged the man according to the law and the evidences which were brought against him, and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he owed, or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people as a thief and a robber. Alma 11:3 3 And the judge received for his wages according to his time--a senine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold; and this is according to the law which was given.

Alma 11:7 7 A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold, and either for a measure of barley, and also for a measure of every kind of grain. Alma 11:8 8 Now the amount of a seon of gold was twice the value of a senine. Alma 11:9 9 And a shum of gold was twice the value of a seon. Alma 11:10 10 And a limnah of gold was the value of them all. Alma 11:11 11 And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums. Alma 11:12 12 And an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums. Alma 11:13 13 And an onti was as great as them all. Alma 11:14 14 Now this is the value of
