1 Nephi 19:1, 4



1 Nephi 19:1

And it came to pass that the Lord commanded me,

wherefore I did make plates of ore

that I might engraven upon them the record of my people.

And upon the plates which I made I did engraven the record of my father,

and also our journeyings in the wilderness, and the prophecies of my father;

and also many of mine own prophecies have I engraven upon them.



1 Nephi 19:4

Wherefore, I, Nephi, did make a record upon the other plates,

which gives an account, or which gives a greater account

of the wars and contentions and destructions of my people.

And this have I done, and commanded my people

what they should do after I was gone;

and that these plates should be handed down

from one generation to another, or from one prophet to another,

until further commandments of the Lord.
