Mosiah 22

The people of King Limhi turn to the Lord and to Gideon and they are able to escape from the Lamanites and the bondage they've been under and they are miraculously led out of the land of Nephi back to Zarahemla where King Mosiah welcomes them. This fleeing of bondage, like Israel being led by Moses out of the bondage of Egypt, is symbolic of the Lord freeing people from the grasp of sin and Satan. It is Satan's desire to cause people to sin so they are in a position where they lose their free agency. But because of the Lord's atonement, people can be free of Satan's grasp, free from sin, and enjoy the true freedom that comes when we turn to the Lord, trust in him and let him guide our lives.
