THE SON OF NEPHI, WHO WAS THE SON OF HELAMAN

Footnotes

Isa. 58: 5 (5-7).
  5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?
Zech. 7: 5 (5-6).
  5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all afast unto me, even to me?
