Jarom 1 1 Now behold, I, Jarom, write a few words, according to the commandment of my father Enos, that our genealogy may be kept.
2 And as these plates are small, and as these things are written for the intent of the benefit of our brethren, the Lamanites, wherefore, it must needs be that I write a little; but I shall not write the things of my prophesying, nor of my revelations.
3 For what could I write more than my fathers have written?
4 For have not they revealed the plan of salvation?
5 I say unto you, Yea; and this sufficeth me.
6 Behold, it is expedient that much should be done among this people, because of the hardness of their hearts, and the deafness of their ears, and the blindness of their minds, and the stiffness of their necks;
7 Nevertheless, God is exceeding merciful unto them, and has not as yet swept them off from the face of the land.
8 And there are many among us who have many revelations: for they are not all stiff-necked.
9 And as many are not stiff-necked, and have faith, have communion with the Holy Spirit, which maketh manifest unto the children of men, according to their faith.
10 And now, behold, two hundred years had passed away, and the people of Nephi had waxed strong in the land.
11 They observed to keep the law of Moses, and the Sabbath day holy unto the Lord.
