Mormon 8:5

Behold, my father hath made this record,

and he hath written the intent thereof.

And behold, I would write it also

if I had room upon the plates,

but I have not;

and ore I have none,

for I am alone.

My father hath been slain in battle,

and all my kinsfolk,

and I have not friends nor whither to go;

and how long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not.

Mormon 9:31

Condemn me not because of mine imperfection,

neither my father, because of his imperfection,

neither them who have written before him;

but rather give thanks unto God

that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections,

that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been.

Mormon 9:32

And now, behold, we have written this record

according to our knowledge,

in the characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian,

being handed down and altered by us, according to our manner of speech.

Mormon 9:33

And if our plates had been sufficiently large

we should have written in Hebrew;

but the Hebrew hath been altered by us also;

and if we could have written in Hebrew,

behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record.

Mormon 9:34

But the Lord knoweth the things which we have written,

and also that none other people knoweth our language;

and because that none other people knoweth our language,

therefore he hath prepared means for the interpretation thereof.

Mormon 9:35

And these things are written

that we may rid our garments of the blood of our brethren,

who have dwindled in unbelief.
