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.

did they await to receive them.

And when they had gone through and hewn down all my people

save it were twenty and four of us,

(among whom was my son Moroni)

and we having survived the dead of our people,

did behold on the morrow,

when the Lamanites had returned unto their camps,

from the top of the hill Cumorah,

the ten thousand of my people who were hewn down,

being led in the front by me.

O that ye had repented

before this great destruction had come upon you.

But behold, ye are gone,

And it came to pass that my people, with their wives and their children,

did now behold the armies of the Lamanites marching towards them;
