“His Heart Again Began to Sicken Because of the Iniquity of the People”

W. Cleon Skousen

It is amazing that Alma had barely gotten rid of Korihor and was just healing the breaches among the members of the Church when word came to him that the Zoramites who had stomped Korihor to death were building up an apostate group as bad as Korihor's.

There was a very compelling reason why Alma feared the separation of the Zoramites from the Nephites.
