Alma, the younger, in giving to his son, Helaman, a father's blessing said:
Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceeding great joy in the fruit of my labors;For because of the word which he has imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of God, and have tasted as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye as I have seen; therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know; and the knowledge which I have is of God. (Alma 36:25-26)
