Mosiah 28:10

Now king Mosiah had no one to confer the kingdom upon,

for there was not any of his sons who would accept of the kingdom.


Mosiah 28:11

Therefore he took the records which were engraven on the plates of brass,

and also the plates of Nephi,

and all the things which he had kept and preserved

according to the commandments of God,

after having translated and caused to be written the records

which were on the plates of gold which had been found by the people of Limhi,

which were delivered to him by the hand of Limhi;


Mosiah 28:12

And this he did because of the great anxiety of his people;

for they were desirous beyond measure

to know concerning those people who had been destroyed.


Mosiah 28:13

And now he translated them by the means of those two stones

which were fastened into the two rims of a bow.


Mosiah 28:14

Now these things were prepared from the beginning,

and were handed down from generation to generation,

for the purpose of interpreting languages;


Mosiah 28:15

And they have been kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord,

that he should discover to every creature who should possess the land

the iniquities and abominations of his people;


Mosiah 28:16

And whosoever has these things is called seer, after the manner of old times.


Mosiah 28:17

Now after Mosiah had finished translating these records,

behold, it gave an account of the people who were destroyed,

from the time that they were destroyed

back to the building of the great tower,

at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people

and they were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth,

yea, and even from that time back until the creation of Adam.


Mosiah 28:18

Now this account did cause the people of Mosiah to mourn exceedingly,

yea, they were filled with sorrow;

nevertheless it gave them much knowledge,

in the which they did rejoice.


Mosiah 28:19

And this account shall be written hereafter;

for behold, it is expedient

that all people should know the things which are written in this account.
