And behold, because of the thing which I have seen, I have reason to rejoice in the Lord because of Nephi and also of Sam; for I have reason to suppose that they, and also many of their seed, will be saved.
Then they bade the envoys sit, and set meats before them, whereof Siegfried gave order they should have enough.
