Mosiah 2:5

Mosiah 1:2

And it came to pass that he had three sons;

and he called their names Mosiah, and Helorum, and Helaman.

And he caused that they should be taught in all the language of his fathers,

that thereby they might become men of understanding;

and that they might know concerning the prophecies

which had been spoken by the mouths of their fathers,

which were delivered them by the hand of the Lord.

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 1:5

I say unto you, my sons,

were it not for these things,

which have been kept and preserved by the hand of God,

that we might read and understand of his mysteries,

and have his commandments always before our eyes,

that even our fathers would have dwindled in unbelief,

and we should have been like unto our brethren, the Lamanites,

who know nothing concerning these things,

or even do not believe them when they are taught them,

because of the traditions of their fathers, which are not correct.

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 1:7

And now, my sons, I would that ye should remember to search them diligently,

that ye may profit thereby;

and I would that ye should keep the commandments of God,

that ye may prosper in the land

according to the promises which the Lord made unto our fathers.

Mosiah 1:8

And many more things did king Benjamin teach his sons,

which are not written in this book.

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 2:5

And it came to pass that when they came up to the temple,

they pitched their tents round about,

every man according to his family,

consisting of his wife, and his sons, and his daughters,

and their sons, and their daughters,

from the eldest down to the youngest,

every family being separate one from another.
