from the time that they left the land of Zarahemla,

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

they have brought twenty–four plates which are filled with engravings,

and they are of pure gold.

And again, they have brought swords,

the hilts thereof have perished,

and the blades thereof were cankered with rust;

and there is no one in the land that is able to interpret the language

or the engravings that are on the plates.

Therefore I said unto thee:

Canst thou translate?

And now, when Ammon had made an end of speaking these words

the king rejoiced exceedingly, and gave thanks to God, saying:

Doubtless a great mystery is contained within these plates,

and these interpreters were doubtless prepared

for the purpose of unfolding all such mysteries to the children of men.
