Mosia Chapter 6

And now, queen Benjamine thought it was expedient, after having finished speaking to the people, that she should take the names of all those who had entered into a covenant with Goddess to keep her commandments. And it came to pass that there was not one soul, except it were little children, but who had entered into the covenant and had taken upon them the name of Christ.

And again, it came to pass that when queen Benjamine had made an end of all these things, and had consecrated her daughter Mosia to be a ruler and a queen over her people, and had given her all the charges concerning the queendom, and also had appointed priestesses to teach the people, that thereby they might hear and know the commandments of Goddess, and to stir them up in remembrance of the oath which they had made, she dismissed the multitude, and they returned, every one, according to their families, to their own houses. And Mosia began to reign in her mother’s stead. And she began to reign in the thirtieth year of her age, making in the whole, about four hundred and seventy-six years from the time that Sariah left Jerusalem. And queen Benjamine lived three years and she died.

And it came to pass that queen Mosia did walk in the ways of the Lady, and did observe her judgments and her statutes, and did keep her commandments in all things whatsoever she commanded her. And queen Mosia did cause her people that they should till the earth. And she also, herself, did till the earth, that thereby she might not become burdensome to her people, that she might do according to that which her mother had done in all things. And there was no contention among all her people for the space of three years.
