Jacob 1:2, 4

Jacob 1:2

And he gave me, Jacob, a commandment that I should write upon these plates

a few of the things which I considered to be most precious;

that I should not touch, save it were lightly,

concerning the history of this people which are called the people of Nephi.

Jacob 1:4

And if there were preaching which was sacred,

or revelation which was great, or prophesying,

that I should engraven the heads of them upon these plates,

and touch upon them as much as it were possible,

for Christ's sake, and for the sake of our people.
