The Book of Mormon

Alma 22:1

1830 Edition

Now as Ammon was thus teaching the people of Lamoni continually, we will return to the account of Aaron and his brethren; for after he departed from the land of Middoni, he was led by the spirit to the land of Nephi; even to the house of the king which was over all the land, save it were the land of Ishmael; and he was the father of Lamoni.

Now, as Ammon was thus teaching the people of Lamoni continually, we will return to the account of Aaron and his brethren; for after he departed from the land of Middoni, he was led by the sSpirit to the land of Nephi;, even to the house of the king which was over all the land, save it were the land of Ishmael; and he was the father of Lamoni.

Simple English

While Ammon was teaching the people of Lamoni, we will return to the story of Aaron and his brothers. After he left the land of Middoni, the Spirit led him to the land of Nephi. He went to the house of the king who ruled over all the land except the land of Ishmael. This king was Lamoni’s father.

Paraphrase

While Ammon kept teaching the people of Lamoni, let’s turn back to Aaron and his brothers. After Aaron left Middoni, the Spirit led him to the land of Nephi—right to the palace of the king who ruled all the Lamanite territory except Ishmael’s land. This king was Lamoni’s father.
