Alma 1:26

And now when the priests left their labor, to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labors to hear the word of God. And when the priest had imparted unto them the word of God, they all returned again diligently unto their labors; and the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers; for the preacher was no better than the hearer, neither was the teacher any better than the learner: and thus they were all equal, and they did all labor, every man according to his strength;

When the priests stopped working to teach God’s word, the people also stopped working to listen. After the priest taught them, everyone went back to work. The priest did not think he was better than the people. The preacher was not better than the one who listened. The teacher was not better than the one who learned. So they were all equal. Everyone worked as hard as they could.

When the priests took time away from work to teach God’s word, the people also left their work to listen. After hearing the teaching, everyone went back to their jobs. The priests never acted superior to their listeners. Preachers were no better than hearers, teachers no better than learners. Everyone was equal, and everyone worked as hard as they could.
