57 And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us, that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.
58 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled.
59 And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God, he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them;
60 Wherefore, he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness.
61 And we did sojourn for the space of many years, yea, even eight years in the wilderness.
62 And we did come to the land which we called Bountiful, because of its much fruit, and also wild honey;
63 And all these things were prepared of the Lord, that we might not perish.
64 And we beheld the sea, which we called Irreantum, which being interpreted is, many waters.
65 And it came to pass that we did pitch our tents by the sea- shore;
66 And notwithstanding we had suffered many afflictions, and much difficulty, yea, even so much that we can not write them all, we were exceedingly rejoiced when we came to the sea-shore;
67 And we called the place Bountiful, because of its much fruit.
