Mormon 6:6, 15

Mormon 6:6

And it came to pass that

when we had gathered in all our people in one to the land of Cumorah,

behold I, Mormon, began to be old;

and knowing it to be the last struggle of my people,

and having been commanded of the Lord

that I should not suffer the records

which had been handed down by our fathers, which were sacred,

to fall into the hands of the Lamanites,

(for the Lamanites would destroy them)

therefore I made this record out of the plates of Nephi,

and hid up in the hill Cumorah all the records

which had been entrusted to me by the hand of the Lord,

save it were these few plates which I gave unto my son Moroni.

Mormon 6:15

And it came to pass that there were ten more

who did fall by the sword, with their ten thousand each;

yea, even all my people,

save it were those twenty and four who were with me,

and also a few who had escaped into the south countries,

and a few who had deserted over unto the Lamanites,

had fallen;

and their flesh, and bones, and blood lay upon the face of the earth,

being left by the hands of those who slew them

to molder upon the land, and to crumble and to return to their mother earth.
