“Bringing Many of the Zoramites to Repentance”

Brant Gardner

Redaction: In this verse, Mormon is backtracking to explain the previous sentence (“thus commenced a war… ”) but also to explain why he will not describe that war until he completes his primary narrative on the gospel theme: Alma’s instructions to his sons.
