“It Was Expedient That They Should Keep the Law of Moses”

Brant Gardner

Not only the same theme but some of the same language from Mosiah 13 reappears in Alma 25. In both it is “expedient to keep the law of Moses” because it is preparation for the Messiah’s coming. The similarities between the two passages and the proximity to the reference to Abinadi make a strong case that the verses in Alma are related to those in Mosiah.
