“May the Lord Bless Your Soul”

Brant Gardner

Alma gives Shiblon his final blessing. It is a wonderful blessing for a faithful son.

Textual: This is the end of the chapter in the 1830 edition. Following one of Mormon’s models for chapter endings, we have a new chapter because the discoursing pair changes. Even though Alma is still the speaker, the separateness of the blessings is retained in the separateness of the chapter structures.
