Mosiah 22:5–8

And Gideon said unto him:

“Behold the back pass, through the back wall, on the back side of the city. The Lamanites, or the guards of the Lamanites, by night are drunken; therefore let us send a proclamation among all this people that they gather together their flocks and herds, that they may drive them into the wilderness by night.

“And I will go according to thy command and pay the last tribute of wine to the Lamanites, and they will be drunken; and we will pass through the secret pass on the left of their camp when they are drunken and asleep. [i]1475[/i]

“Thus we will depart with our women and our children, our flocks, and our herds into the wilderness; and we will travel around the land of Shilom.”
