Wherefore, in my days, I would that ye should know

that I fought much with the sword to preserve my people, the Nephites,

and I have not kept the statutes and the commandments of the Lord

as I ought to have done.

Omni 1:6

For the Lord would not suffer,

after he had led them out of the land of Jerusalem

which he spake unto our fathers,

saying that: Inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments

ye shall not prosper in the land.

And at the time that Mosiah discovered them,

they had become exceedingly numerous.

Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions,

and had fallen by the sword from time to time;

and their language had become corrupted;

and they had brought no records with them;

and they denied the being of their Creator;

and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them.

Omni 1:27

And now I would speak somewhat concerning a certain number

who went up into the wilderness to return to the land of Nephi;

for there was a large number who were desirous

to possess the land of their inheritance.
