they were immovable because of the fear which did come upon them.
Helaman 5:35
35 Now there was one among them who was a Nephite by birth, who
had once belonged to the church of God but had dissented from
them.
Helaman 5:36
36 And it came to pass that he turned him about, and behold, he
saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi;
and behold, they did shine exceedingly, even as the faces of
angels. And he beheld that they did lift their eyes to heaven;
and they were in the attitude as if talking or lifting their
voices to some being whom they beheld.
Helaman 5:37
37 And it came to pass that this man did cry unto the multitude,
that they might turn and look. And behold, there was power given
unto them that they did turn and look; and they did behold the
faces of Nephi and Lehi.
Helaman 5:38
38 And they said unto the man: Behold, what do all these things
mean, and who is it with whom these men do converse?
Helaman 5:39
39 Now the man's name was Aminadab. And Aminadab said unto
them: They do converse with the angels of God.
Helaman 5:40
40 And it came to pass that the Lamanites said unto him: What
shall we do, that this cloud of darkness may be removed from
overshadowing us?
Helaman 5:41
41 And Aminadab said unto them: You must repent, and cry unto
the voice, even until ye shall have faith in Christ, who was
taught unto you by Alma, and Amulek, and Zeezrom; and when ye
shall do this, the cloud of darkness shall be removed from
overshadowing you.
Helaman 5:42
42 And it came to pass that they all did begin to cry unto the
voice of him who had shaken the earth; yea, they did cry even
until the cloud of darkness was dispersed.
Helaman 5:43
43 And it came to pass that when they cast their eyes about, and
saw that the cloud of darkness was dispersed from overshadowing
them, behold, they saw that they were encircled about, yea every
soul, by a pillar of fire.
Helaman 5:44
44 And Nephi and Lehi were in the midst of them; yea, they were
encircled about; yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming
fire, yet it did harm them not, neither did it take hold upon the
walls of the prison; and they were filled with that joy which is
unspeakable and full of glory.
Helaman 5:45
45 And behold, the Holy Spirit of God did come down from heaven,
and did enter into their hearts, and they were filled as if with
fire, and they could speak forth marvelous words.
Helaman 5:46
46 And it came to pass that there came a voice unto them, yea, a
pleasant voice, as if it were a whisper, saying:
Helaman 5:47
47 Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well
Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world.
Helaman 5:48
48 And now, when they heard this they cast up their eyes as if
to behold from whence the voice came; and behold, they saw the
heavens open; and angels came down out of heaven and ministered
unto them.
Helaman 5:49
49 And there were about three hundred souls who saw and heard
these things; and they were bidden to go forth and marvel not,
neither should they doubt.
Helaman 5:50
50 And it came to pass that they did go forth, and did minister
unto the people, declaring throughout all the regions round about
all the things which they had heard and seen, insomuch that the
more part of the Lamanites were convinced of them, because of the
greatness of the evidences which they had received.
Helaman 5:51
51 And as many as were convinced did lay down their weapons of
war, and also their hatred and the tradition of their fathers.
Helaman 5:52
52 And it came to pass that they did yield up unto the Nephites
the lands of their possession.
Helaman 6 Chapter 6
Helaman 6:1
1 And it came to pass that when the sixty and second year of the
reign of the judges had ended, all these things had happened and
the Lamanites had become, the more part of them, a righteous
people, insomuch that their righteousness did exceed that of the
Nephites because of their firmness and their steadiness in the
faith.
Helaman 6:2
2 For behold, there were many of the Nephites who had become
hardened and impenitent and grossly wicked, insomuch that they
did reject the word of God and all the preaching and prophesying
which did come among them.
Helaman 6:3
3 Nevertheless, the people of the church did have great joy
because of the conversion of the Lamanites, yea, because of the
church of God, which had been established among them. And they
did fellowship one with another and did rejoice one with another,
and did have great joy.
Helaman 6:4
4 And it came to pass that many of the Lamanites did come down
into the land of Zarahemla, and did declare unto the people of
the Nephites the manner of their conversion, and did exhort them
to faith and repentance.
Helaman 6:5
5 Yea, and many did preach with exceedingly great power and
authority, unto the bringing down many of them into the depths of
humility, to be the humble followers of God and the Lamb.
Helaman 6:6
6 And it came to pass that many of the Lamanites did go into the
land northward; and also Nephi and Lehi went into the land
