41) And Aminadab said unto them: You must repent, and cry unto the voice, even until ye shall have faith in Christ, who was taught unto you by Alma, and Amulek, and Zeezrom; and when ye shall do this, the cloud of darkness shall be removed from overshadowing you.

Notes

Alma 10:11 is interesting as Amulek decribes the Giddonah was living with him, but he also mentions his women and children, which leads me to imagine that he has multiple wives. Considering how many men died in recent wars, this doesn't seem particularly crazy, but considering Jacob's prohibitions in Jacob 2:23-30, this does seem odd. I see four possibilities:

  1. I am misunderstanding what is meant here. Maybe this category includes his mother and sisters; not just wives? He doesn't use the word "wives", though, in many languages, the idea of a wife is communicated as "my woman". (Even in English, the word "Wife" was originally the common word for woman.)
  2. Amulek, having only recently having become converted, was not following this teaching.
  3. Amulek had received one or more wives in order to raise seed for brothers who had died, as commanded by the law of Moses.
  4. God had commanded, through Alma that men take multiple wives, to raise seed unto him, and to care for the many widows after the war.
