And I, Nephi, had kept the records
upon my plates, which I had made,
of my people thus far.

And it came to pass that the Lord God said unto me:
Make other plates;
and thou shalt engraven many things upon them
which are good in my sight, for the profit of thy people.
2 Nephi 5:31
Wherefore, I, Nephi, to be obedient to the commandments of the Lord,
went and made these plates upon which I have engraven these things.
2 Nephi 5:32
And I engraved that which is pleasing unto God.
And if my people are pleased with the things of God
they will be pleased with mine engravings which are upon these plates.
2 Nephi 5:33
And if my people desire to know the more particular part
of the history of my people
they must search mine other plates.
2 Nephi 5:34
And it sufficeth me to say that forty years had passed away,
and we had already had wars and contentions with our brethren.
