1 NephiChapter9
1 And all these things did my father see, and hear, and speak, as he dwelt in a tent, in the valley of Lemuel, and also a great many more things, which cannot be written upon these plates.
2 And now, as I have spoken concerning these plates, behold they are not the plates upon which I make a full account of the history of my people; for the plates upon which I make a full account of my people I have given the name of Nephi; wherefore, they are called the plates of Nephi, after mine own name; and these plates also are called the plates of Nephi.
3 Nevertheless, I have received a commandment of the Lord that I should make these plates, for the special purpose that there should be an account engraven of the ministry of my people.
4 Upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the reign of the kings, and the wars and contentions of my people; wherefore these plates are for the more part of the ministry; and the other plates are for the more part of the reign of the kings and the wars and contentions of my people.
5 Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me to make these plates for a wise purpose in him, which purpose I know not.
6 But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is. Amen.
All my father saw and heard and spoke these things while he lived in a tent in the valley of Lemuel, along with a lot of other things that can't be written on these plates.
Now, since I've been talking about these plates, these are not the ones where I keep the full account of my people's history. The plates with the full account I've named after myself, so they're called the plates of Nephi; and these plates are also called the plates of Nephi. Even so, I have received a commandment from the Lord to make these plates for a special purpose: so that an account of the ministry of my people would be engraved on them. On the other plates goes the account of the reign of the kings and the wars and conflicts of my people. So these plates are mostly for the ministry, and the other plates are mostly for the reign of the kings and the wars and conflicts of my people.
The Lord has commanded me to make these plates for a wise purpose of his own, a purpose I don't know. But the Lord knows all things from the beginning, so he prepares a way to accomplish all his works among people. He has all power to fulfill all his words. And so it is. Amen.
