Book of Mormon Helaman 6:25
"it is these secret oaths and covenants which Alma commanded his son should not go forth unto the world"
Book of Mormon Alma 37:27
"I command you that ye retain all their oaths, and their covenants, and their agreements in their secret abominations"

The narrator cites Alma's testament by name and in substance, then certifies that the embargo held: 6:26 answers the question Alma 37 left open — 'those secret oaths and covenants did not come forth unto Gadianton from the records which were delivered unto Helaman; but behold, they were put into the heart of Gadianton by that same being…' So the oaths' source is the devil, not the withheld Jaredite records. The Alma-side embargo spans 37:27-29 ('ye shall keep these secret plans of their oaths and their covenants from this people', 37:29); 37:27 is the command verse. Prose cross-links on the page reach alma-the-younger.md, coming-forth-of-scripture.md, and helaman-almason.md (the son Helaman to whom the records and the command were delivered).
