“The priests of Amulon were commissioned to teach the Nephite language to the Lamanites. (Mosiah 24:1–7.) One cannot help but wonder if the Lord’s hand was not involved in this assignment. While they did not teach the law of Moses or the words of Abinadi (they were not qualified anyway), did they not prepare the way for the future Nephite missionaries, the sons of Mosiah, to proclaim the gospel among the Lamanites?” (Nyman, “Bondage and Deliverance,” 264).
