the lesser numbers of their reckoning-- Alma 11:15 15 A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of barley. Alma 11:16 16 And a shiblum is a half of a shiblon. Alma 11:17 17 And a leah is the half of a shiblum. Alma 11:18 18 Now this is their number, according to their reckoning. Alma 11:19 19 Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons. Alma 11:20 20 Now, it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ, therefore, they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ, 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. Alma 11:21 21 And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you? 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? Alma 11:22 22 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, 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.

I say unto you, Nay, thou knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more than him. Alma 11:25 25 And now thou hast lied before God unto me. Thou saidst unto me--Behold these six onties, which are of great worth, I will give unto thee--when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me; and it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me. And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward. Alma 11:26 26 And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God? Alma 11:27 27 And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God. Alma 11:28 28 Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God? Alma 11:29 29 And he answered, No. Alma 11:30 30 Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest t
