Behold, the people came running together,
rending their garments in token,
or as a covenant, that they would
not forsake the Lord their God;
or, in other words, if they should
transgress the commandments of God,
or fall into transgression, and be ashamed
to take upon them the name of Christ,
the Lord should rend them
even as they had rent their garments.
(Alma 46:21)
