We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us.

wherefore I did make plates of ore

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

which gives an account, or which gives a greater account

of the wars and contentions and destructions of 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.

if it so be that they should obtain these things.
