What do these verses reveal about Zeezrom?

Thomas R. Valletta

“[Zeezrom] sought to intimidate, threaten, weaken, and confuse the prophets by plying the tools of his trade. His first challenge to Alma and Amulek was the temptation of money. As we have already seen, the Nehors put great stock in money, which conferred on them greater status. The essence of priestcraft is to teach false (or even true) doctrine in the pursuit of wealth and power. And so Zeezrom tempted Amulek” (Kramer, “Prophetic Principles for Building Zion,” 281).
