Ether 2:22

And he cried again unto the Lord saying:

O Lord, behold I have done even as thou hast commanded me;

and I have prepared the vessels for my people,

and behold there is no light in them.

Behold, O Lord, wilt thou suffer that we shall cross this great water in darkness?



Ether 3:1

And it came to pass that the brother of Jared,

(now the number of the vessels which had been prepared was eight)

went forth unto the mount,

which they called the mount Shelem, because of its exceeding height,

and did molten out of a rock sixteen small stones;

and they were white and clear, even as transparent glass;

and he did carry them in his hands upon the top of the mount,

and cried again unto the Lord, saying:



Ether 3:4

And I know, O Lord, that thou hast all power,

and can do whatsoever thou wilt for the benefit of man;

therefore touch these stones, O Lord, with thy finger,

and prepare them that they may shine forth in darkness;

and they shall shine forth unto us in the vessels which we have prepared,

that we may have light while we shall cross the sea.
