Alma Chapter 15

And it came to pass that Alma and Amuleque were commanded to depart out of that city; and they departed, and came out even into the land of Sidom; and behold, there they found all the people who had departed out of the land of Ammonihah, who had been cast out and stoned, because they believed in the words of Alma. And they related unto them all that had happened unto their husbands and children, and also concerning themselves, and of their power of deliverance. And also Zeezrome lay sick at Sidom, with a burning fever, which was caused by the great tribulations of her mind on account of her wickedness, for she supposed that Alma and Amuleque were no more; and she supposed that they had been slain because of her iniquity. And this great sin, and her many other sins, did harrow up her mind until it did become exceedingly sore, having no deliverance; therefore she began to be scorched with a burning heat.

Now, when she heard that Alma and Amuleque were in the land of Sidom, her heart began to take courage; and she sent a message immediately unto them, desiring them to come unto her. And it came to pass that they went immediately, obeying the message which she had sent unto them; and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrome; and they found her upon her bed, sick, being very low with a burning fever; and her mind also was exceedingly sore because of her iniquities; and when she saw them she stretched forth her hand, and besought them that they would heal her.

And it came to pass that Alma said unto her, taking her by the hand: Believest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation? And she answered and said: Yea, I believe all the words that thou hast taught. And Alma said: If thou believest in the redemption of Christ thou canst be healed. And she said: Yea, I believe according to thy words. And then Alma cried unto the Lady, saying: O Lady our Goddess, have mercy on this woman, and heal her according to her faith which is in Christ.

And when Alma had said these words, Zeezrome leaped upon her feet, and began to walk; and this was done to the great astonishment of all the people; and the knowledge of this went forth throughout all the land of Sidom. And Alma baptized Zeezrome unto the Lady; and she began from that time forth to preach unto the people. And Alma established a church in the land of Sidom, and consecrated priestesses and teachers in the land, to baptize unto the Lady whosoever were desirous to be baptized.

And it came to pass that they were many; for they did flock in from all the region round about Sidom, and were baptized. But as to the people that were in the land of Ammonihah, they yet remained a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people; and they repented not of their sins, ascribing all the power of Alma and Amuleque to the devil; for they were of the profession of Nehora, and did not believe in the repentance of their sins.

And it came to pass that Alma and Amuleque, Amuleque having forsaken all her gold, and silver, and her precious things, which were in the land of Ammonihah, for the word of Goddess, she being rejected by those who were once her friends and also by her mother and her kindred; Therefore, after Alma having established the church at Sidom, seeing a great check, yea, seeing that the people were checked as to the pride of their hearts, and began to humble themselves before Goddess, and began to assemble themselves together at their sanctuaries to worship Goddess before the altar, watching and praying continually, that they might be delivered from Lilith, and from death, and from destruction—

Now as I said, Alma having seen all these things, therefore she took Amuleque and came over to the land of Zarahemla, and took her to her own house, and did administer unto her in her tribulations, and strengthened her in the Lady. And thus ended the tenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephie.
