Mormon gives voice to the people’s exuberance at the end of both Zemnarihah and the war by allowing them a speech rejoicing in God’s protection. This is an example of where the people’s righteousness did invoke the projection promised in the covenant of the land.
This is not the end of the chapter in the 1830 edition.
