1 Nephi 13:21
And the angel said unto me:
Knowest thou the meaning of the book?
1 Nephi 13:23
And he said:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew.
And I, Nephi, beheld it;
and he said unto me:
the book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews,
which contains the covenants of the Lord,
which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets;
and it is a record like unto the engravings
which are upon the plates of brass,
save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord,
which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.
1 Nephi 13:24
And the angel of the Lord said unto me:
Thou hast beheld that the book proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew;
and when it proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew
it contained the fulness of the gospel of the Lord,
of whom the twelve apostles bear record;
and they bear record according to the truth which is in the Lamb of God.
1 Nephi 13:28
Wherefore, thou seest that after the book hath gone forth
through the hands of the great and abominable church,
that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the book,
which is the book of the Lamb of God.
1 Nephi 13:29
And after these plain and precious things were taken away
it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles;
and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles,
yea, even across the many waters which thou hast seen
with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity,
thou seest — because of the many plain and precious things
which have been taken out of the book,
which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men,
according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God —
because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb,
an exceedingly great many do stumble,
yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them.
1 Nephi 13:38
And it came to pass that I beheld the remnant of the seed of my brethren,
and also the book of the Lamb of God,
which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew,
that it came forth from the Gentiles
unto the remnant of the seed of my brethren.
1 Nephi 14:23
Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true;
and behold they are written in the book
which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew;
and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,
or, at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,
the things which were written were plain and pure, and most precious
and easy to the understanding of all men.
