Episode notes
INSIGHT

Law of Witnesses

  • The law of witnesses, from Deuteronomy 19:15, requires multiple witnesses to establish a matter.
  • Amulek's appearance as a second witness to Alma's claims startled the people of Ammonihah.
INSIGHT

Nihor's Doctrine

  • Nihor's followers in Ammonihah accepted the Old Testament but interpreted it to reject the need for a Messiah.
  • They believed salvation came through commandments alone, not through a savior.
ANECDOTE

Zeezrom's Bribe

  • Zeerzom offered Amulek six onties of silver, equivalent to 42 days of a lawyer's pay, to deny the existence of God.
  • This attempt to undermine Amulek aimed to invalidate his witness alongside Alma's.
