The 1920 LDS edition removed the repeated adverbial out here in Alma 62:6. Such adverbial repetition, however, is characteristic of the original text and will be restored in the critical text. For discussion of this kind of repetition, in both the Book of Mormon and the King James Bible, see under Jacob 7:8.

Summary: Restore the redundant occurrence of the adverb out in Alma 62:6; such usage occurs in the original text of the Book of Mormon.
