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 13:38

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 13:41

And they must come according to the words

which shall be established by the mouth of the Lamb;

and the words of the Lamb shall be made known in the records of thy seed,

as well as in the records of the twelve apostles of the Lamb;

wherefore they both shall be established in one;

for there is one God and one Shepherd over all the earth.



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.
