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

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)

from the top of the hill Cumorah,

the ten thousand of my people who were hewn down,

being led in the front by me.

and a few who had deserted over unto the Lamanites,

being left by the hands of those who slew them
