Mosiah 1:3, 4, 6, 16

Mosiah 1:3

And he also taught them concerning the records

which were engraven on the plates of brass, saying:

My sons, I would that ye should remember

that were it not for these plates,

which contain these records and these commandments,

we must have suffered in ignorance, even at this present time,

not knowing the mysteries of God.

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 1:6

O my sons, I would that ye should remember

that these sayings are true,

and also that these records are true.

And behold, also the plates of Nephi,

which contain the records and the sayings of our fathers

from the time they left Jerusalem until now,

and they are true;

and we can know of their surety

because we have them before our eyes.

Mosiah 1:16

And moreover, he also gave him charge concerning the records

which were engraven on the plates of brass;

and also the plates of Nephi;

and also, the sword of Laban,

and the ball or director, which led our fathers through the wilderness,

which was prepared by the hand of the Lord

that thereby they might be led, every one

according to the heed and diligence which they gave unto him.
