and the time is soon at hand except ye repent.

Now these are the names of the different pieces

of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value.

And the names are given by the Nephites,

for they did not reckon after the manner of the Jews who were at Jerusalem;

neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews;

but they altered their reckoning and their measure,

according to the minds and the circumstances of the people,

in every generation, until the reign of the judges,

they having been established by king Mosiah.
