1 Nephi 19:3, 5



1 Nephi 19:3

And after I had made these plates by way of commandment,

I, Nephi, received a commandment

that the ministry and the prophecies,

the more plain and precious parts of them,

should be written upon these plates;

and that the things which were written

should be kept for the instruction of my people,

who should possess the land,

and also for other wise purposes,

which purposes are known unto the Lord.



1 Nephi 19:5

And an account of my making these plates shall be given hereafter;

and then, behold, I proceed according to that which I have spoken;

and this I do that the more sacred things may be kept

for the knowledge of my people.
