By guiding the people into the depths of humility and dependence upon the will of the Lord, Limhi is at last able to bring about a change in their disposition: “And they did humble themselves even in the depths of humility; and they did cry mightily to God; yea, even all the day long did they cry unto their God that he would deliver them out of their afflictions” (Mosiah 21:14). Signifying their commitment to righteousness, Limhi and many of his people enter into a covenant with God “to serve him and keep his commandments” (Mosiah 21:31).
