To this point, the conversation between Aaron and Lamoni’s father proceeds much as did the conversation between Ammon and Lamoni. Aaron declares that there is a God, meaning Jehovah. As did Lamoni, his father equates Jehovah with “that great Spirit that brought our fathers out of the land of Jerusalem.” The heritage was not lost, but the name of God was.
As did Lamoni, his father is willing to understand that Jehovah is the God who the Lamanites understood as the Great Spirit. Once again, Lamoni’s father expresses the willingness to believe Aaron’s words. This willingness is likely still based on his remarkable experience with Ammon on the road to Middoni.
