Now behold, the people who were in the land Bountiful,

or rather Moroni, feared

that they would hearken to the words of Morianton and unite with his people,

among the people of Nephi,

yea, which consequences would lead to the overthrow of their liberty.

to take possession of those records and those things

which were esteemed by Alma and his fathers to be most sacred;
