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 3:2

O Lord, thou hast said that we must be encompassed about by the floods.

Now behold, O Lord, and do not be angry with thy servant

because of his weakness before thee;

for we know that thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens,

and that we are unworthy before thee;

because of the fall our natures have become evil continually;

nevertheless, O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment

that we must call upon thee,

that from thee we may receive according to our desires.

Ether 3:3

Behold, O Lord, thou hast smitten us because of our iniquity,

and hast driven us forth,

and for these many years we have been in the wilderness;

nevertheless, thou hast been merciful unto us.

O Lord, look upon me in pity,

and turn away thine anger from this thy people,

and suffer not that they shall go forth across this raging deep in darkness;

but behold these things which I have molten out of the rock.

Ether 3:9

And the Lord said unto him:

because of thy faith thou hast seen

that I shall take upon me flesh and blood;

and never has man come before me with such exceeding faith as thou hast;

for were it not so ye could not have seen my finger.

Sawest thou more than this?

Ether 3:19

And because of the knowledge of this man

he could not be kept from beholding within the veil;

and he saw the finger of Jesus,

which, when he saw, he fell with fear;

for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord;

and he had faith no longer,

for he knew, nothing doubting.

Ether 4:11

him will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit,

and he shall know and bear record.

For because of my Spirit he shall know that these things are true;

for it persuadeth men to do good.

Come unto me, O ye house of Israel,

and it shall be made manifest unto you

how great things the Father hath laid up for you,

from the foundation of the world;
