Mosiah 7:1

And now, it came to pass that

after king Mosiah had had continual peace for the space of three years,

he was desirous to know concerning the people

who went up to dwell in the land of Lehi-Nephi, or in the city of Lehi-Nephi;

for his people had heard nothing from them

from the time they left the land of Zarahemla;

therefore, they wearied him with their teasings.

Mosiah 7:16

And now, king Limhi commanded his guards

that they should no more bind Ammon nor his brethren,

but caused that they should go to the hill which was north of Shilom,

and bring their brethren into the city,

that thereby they might eat, and drink,

and rest themselves from the labors of their journey;

for they had suffered many things;

they had suffered hunger, thirst, and fatigue.

Mosiah 8:2

And he caused that Ammon should stand up before the multitude,

and rehearse unto them all that had happened unto their brethren

from the time that Zeniff went up out of the land

even until the time that he himself came up out of the land.

Mosiah 8:5

And it came to pass that he caused that the plates

which contained the record of his people

from the time that they left the land of Zarahemla,

should be brought before Ammon, that he might read them.

Mosiah 8:12

And I say unto thee again:

Knowest thou of any one that can translate?

For I am desirous that these records should be translated into our language;

for, perhaps, they will give us a knowledge of a remnant of the people

who have been destroyed,

from whence these records came;

or, perhaps, they will give us a knowledge of this very people

who have been destroyed;

and I am desirous to know the cause of their destruction.

Mosiah 8:13

Now Ammon said unto him:

I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can translate the records;

for he has wherewith that he can look,

and translate all records that are of ancient date;

and it is a gift from God.

And the things are called interpreters,

and no man can look in them except he be commanded,

lest he should look for that he ought not and he should perish.

And whosoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called seer.

Mosiah 8:14

And behold, the king of the people who are in the land of Zarahemla

is the man that is commanded to do these things,

and who has this high gift from God.

Mosiah 8:16

And Ammon said that a seer is a revelator and a prophet also;

and a gift which is greater can no man have,

except he should possess the power of God, which no man can;

yet a man may have great power given him from God.

Mosiah 8:21

Yea, they are as a wild flock which fleeth from the shepherd, and scattereth,

and are driven, and are devoured by the beasts of the forest.
