14 And when they had set their feet upon the shores of the promised land, they bowed themselves down upon the face of the land, and did humble themselves before the Lord, and did shed tears of joy before the Lord, because of the multitude of his tender mercies over them.
15 And it came to pass that they went forth upon the face of the land, and began to till the earth.
16 And Jared had four sons; and they were called Jacom, and Gilgah, and Mahah, and Orihah.
17 And the Brother of Jared also begat sons and daughters.
18 And the friends of Jared and his brother, were in number about twenty and two souls; and they also begat sons and daughters, before they came to the promised land; and therefore they began to be many.
19 And they were taught to walk humbly before the Lord; and they were also taught from on high.
20 And it came to pass that they began to spread upon the face of the land, and to multiply and to till the earth; and they did wax strong in the land.
21 And the Brother of Jared began to be old, and saw that he must soon go down to the grave; wherefore he said unto Jared, Let us gather together our people that we may number them, that we may know of them what they will desire of us before we go down to our graves.
22 And accordingly the people were gathered together.
23 Now the number of the sons and the daughters of the Brother of Jared were twenty and two souls; and the number of the sons and daughters of Jared were twelve, he having four sons.
24 And it came to pass that they did number their people; and after that they had numbered them, they did desire of them the things which they would that they should do before they went down to their graves.
