from the time Lehi left Jerusalem; yea, and tens of thousands of the Lamanites were slain and scattered abroad. Alma 28:3 3 Yea, and also there was a tremendous slaughter among the people of Nephi; nevertheless, the Lamanites were driven and scattered, and the people of Nephi returned again to their land. Alma 28:4 4 And now this was a time that there was a great mourning and lamentation heard throughout all the land, among all the people of Nephi-- Alma 28:5 5 Yea, the cry of widows mourning for their husbands, and also of fathers mourning for their sons, and the daughter for the brother, yea, the brother for the father; and thus the cry of mourning was heard among all of them, mourning for their kindred who had been slain. Alma 28:6 6 And now surely this was a sorrowful day; yea, a time of solemnity, and a time of much fasting and prayer.

Alma 28:12 12 While many thousands of others truly mourn for the loss of their kindred, yet they rejoice and exult in the hope, and even know, according to the promises of the Lord, that they are raised to dwell at the right hand of God, in a state of never-ending happiness. Alma 28:13 13 And thus we see how great the inequality of man is because of sin and transgression, and the power
