59 And the three hundred and forty and ninth year had passed away.

60 And in the three hundred and fiftieth year, we made a treaty with the Lamanites and the robbers of Gadianton, in which we did get the lands of our inheritance divided.

61 And the Lamanites did give unto us the land northward; yea, even to the narrow passage which led into the land southward.

62 And we did give unto the Lamanites all the land southward.

63 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did not come to battle again until ten years more had passed away.

64 And behold, I had employed my people, the Nephites, in preparing their lands and their arms against the time of battle.

65 And it came to pass that the Lord did say unto me, Cry unto this people, Repent ye, and come unto me and be ye baptized, and build up again my church, and ye shall be spared.

67 And behold they did harden their hearts against the Lord their God.

68 And it came to pass that after this tenth year had passed away, making, in the whole, three hundred and sixty years from the coming of Christ, the king of the Lamanites sent an epistle unto me, which gave unto me to know that they were preparing to come again to battle against us.
