Textual: This is the end of Alma’s inserted speech. The next chapter will have the inserted speech given by Amulek. Once again we have a terminal verse that in more modern texts would be the introduction to the next chapter. Mormon ends with this rather than begin the new one. Mormon’s concept of how he uses material apparently has the actual inserted text as the major category, and the linking texts he uses to move from one to another are simply connecting tissue. As the information of greater importance, the actual text receives pride of place at the opening of the chapter. This is the end of a chapter in the 1830 edition.
