Jarom 1:2

And as these plates are small,

and as these things are written

for the intent of the benefit of our brethren the Lamanites,

wherefore, it must needs be that I write a little;

but I shall not write the things of my prophesying, nor of my revelations.

for what could I write more than my fathers have written?

for have not they revealed the plan of salvation?

I say unto you, Yea;

and this sufficeth me.

Jarom 1:4

And there are many among us who have many revelations,

for they are not all stiffnecked.

And as many as are not stiffnecked and have faith,

have communion with the Holy Spirit,

which maketh manifest unto the children of men, according to their faith.

Jarom 1:8

And we multiplied exceedingly, and spread upon the face of the land,

and became exceedingly rich in gold, and in silver, and in precious things,

and in fine workmanship of wood, in buildings, and in machinery,

and also in iron and copper, and brass and steel,

making all manner of tools of every kind to till the ground,

and weapons of war —

yea, the sharp pointed arrow, and the quiver, and the dart, and the javelin,

and all preparations for war.

Jarom 1:11

Wherefore, the prophets, and the priests, and the teachers, did labor diligently,

exhorting with all long-suffering the people to diligence;

teaching the law of Moses, and the intent for which it was given;

persuading them to look forward unto the Messiah,

and believe in him to come as though he already was.

And after this manner did they teach them.

Jarom 1:12

And it came to pass that by so doing

they kept them from being destroyed upon the face of the land;

for they did prick their hearts with the word,

continually stirring them up unto repentance.

Jarom 1:13

And it came to pass that two hundred and thirty and eight years had passed away —

after the manner of wars, and contentions, and dissensions,

for the space of much of the time.

Jarom 1:14

And I, Jarom, do not write more,

for the plates are small.

But behold, my brethren, ye can go to the other plates of Nephi;

for behold, upon them the records of our wars are engraven,

according to the writings of the kings,

or those which they caused to be written.
