The Book of Mormon

Alma 43:20

1830 Edition

Now the army of Zerahemnah was not prepared with any such thing. They had only their swords, and their cimeters, their bows and their arrows, their stones and their slings; but they were naked, save it were a skin which was girded about their loins; yea, all were naked, save it were the Zoramites and the Amalekites.

Zerahemnah’s army had nothing like that. They only had their swords, bows and arrows, stones and slings. They were naked except for a piece of skin wrapped around their waists. All of them were naked except the Zoramites and the Amalekites.

Paraphrase

they realized Zerahemnah’s army had nothing like that. They only had swords, scimitars, bows and arrows, stones and slings. They wore almost nothing—just a loincloth. Everyone was nearly naked except the Zoramites and Amalekites.
