Mormon's wordplay in 3 Nephi 10

I have an interest and fascination for Hebrew, but my knowledge level is very low. So I have to admit that it was with great satisfaction that I discovered a Hebrew wordplay all by myself for the second time ever, I think. (Here is another one). This only happened because I have previously studied and written about the Hebrew word, gaal, which means "to act as a kinsman" or "to redeem". See this post and this post.

Remembering that these two words, kin and redeemer, are the same in Hebrew, see if you can identify the wordplay in 3 Nephi 10:8-10

8 And now it came to pass that after the people had heard these words, behold, they began to weep and howl again because of the loss of their kindred and friends.

9 And it came to pass that thus did the three days pass away. And it was in the morning, and the darkness dispersed from off the face of the land, and the earth did cease to tremble, and the rocks did cease to rend, and the dreadful groanings did cease, and all the tumultuous noises did pass away.

10 And the earth did cleave together again, that it stood; and the mourning, and the weeping, and the wailing of the people who were spared alive did cease; and their mourning was turned into joy, and their lamentations into the praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord Jesus Christ, their Redeemer.

I'm making it very easy for the reader, marking the two words in this passage. The way Mormon is using this wordplay is very clever and helps me to see this passage in a new light. Notice in verse 8 how the people weep and howl because of the loss of their kindred. (I also notice that "friends" is added, which is a covenant term that I wrote about in another post).

Then verse 9 marks a shift: Darkness turns into light, noises turn into silence, weeping turns into joy. It culminates in lamentation turning into thanksgiving unto "their Redeemer". The weeping over their lost kindred is replaced with thanksgiving unto their Redeemer. In other words, they lost their kindred but they had their kinsman, Jesus Christ, who could offer them redemption from death and sin.

There is a beautiful message from Mormon in all this. It is always sad whenever we lose our earthly kin. But we can find comfort in the fact that we will always have a kinsman-redeemer who will never fail us. His redeeming power extends beyond the temporal redemption that a kinsman originally was responsible for.
