Mosiah 1:4

For it were not possible

that our father, Lehi, could have remembered all these things,

to have taught them to his children,

except it were for the help of these plates;

for he having been taught in the language of the Egyptians

therefore he could read these engravings, and teach them to his children,

that thereby they could teach them to their children,

and so fulfilling the commandments of God,

even down to this present time.

Mosiah 1:9

And it came to pass that

after king Benjamin had made an end of teaching his sons,

that he waxed old,

and he saw that he must very soon go the way of all the earth;

therefore, he thought it expedient

that he should confer the kingdom upon one of his sons.

Mosiah 1:10

Therefore, he had Mosiah brought before him;

and these are the words which he spake unto him, saying:

My son, I would that ye should make a proclamation

throughout all this land among all this people,

or the people of Zarahemla, and the people of Mosiah who dwell in the land,

that thereby they may be gathered together;

for on the morrow I shall proclaim unto this my people out of mine own mouth

that thou art a king and a ruler over this people,

whom the Lord our God hath given us.

Mosiah 2:7

For the multitude being so great

that king Benjamin could not teach them all within the walls of the temple,

therefore he caused a tower to be erected,

that thereby his people might hear the words which he should speak unto them.

Mosiah 2:8

And it came to pass that

he began to speak to his people from the tower;

and they could not all hear his words because of the greatness of the multitude;

therefore he caused that the words which he spake should be written

and sent forth among those that were not under the sound of his voice,

that they might also receive his words.

Mosiah 2:24

And secondly, he doth require

that ye should do as he hath commanded you;

for which if ye do,

he doth immediately bless you;

and therefore he hath paid you.

And ye are still indebted unto him,

and are, and will be, forever and ever;

therefore, of what have ye to boast?

Mosiah 2:37

I say unto you, that the man that doeth this,

the same cometh out in open rebellion against God;

therefore he listeth to obey the evil spirit,

and becometh an enemy to all righteousness;

therefore, the Lord has no place in him,

for he dwelleth not in unholy temples.
