that I should be commanded of the Lord to make these plates;

wherefore, the record of my father, and the genealogy of his fathers,

wherefore, the things which transpired before I made these plates

are, of a truth, more particularly made mention upon the first plates.

even as he had prophets of old,

I should have perished also.
