Book of Mormon Helaman 5:10
"the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom, in the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins"
Book of Mormon Alma 11:34
"Shall he save his people in their sins? And Amulek answered and said unto him: I say unto you he shall not, for it is impossible for him to deny his word"

Helaman, instructing his sons, quotes Amulek by name with three coordinates at once — speaker (Amulek), addressee (Zeezrom), and city (Ammonihah) — the record's most fully attributed internal quotation to date. Recast reported as fact: at Alma 11:34 Amulek's answer is a flat negative (he 'shall not' save his people IN their sins, developed across 11:34-37); Helaman states it as a positive IN/FROM distinction ('not… to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins'), a framing that is the citing prophet's, not a phrase standing at Alma 11:34. The named attribution is the textual fact; the in/from formulation is Helaman's gloss. Zeezrom-side handling on zeezrom.md. Adjacent named citations in the same instruction: king Benjamin (Helaman 5:9) and the roster 'Alma, and Amulek, and Zeezrom' (Helaman 5:41).
