90 And after he had preached unto them, and also prophesied unto them of many things, he bade them to keep the commandments of the Lord;
91 And he did cease speaking unto them.
92 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 can not be written upon these plates.
93 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;
94 For the plates upon which I make a full account of my people, I have given the name of Nephi;
95 Wherefore, they are called the plates of Nephi, after mine own name; and these plates also are called the plates of Nephi.
96 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.
97 Upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the reign of the kings, and the wars and contentions of my people;
98 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.
99 Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me to make these plates for a wise purpose in him; which purpose I know not.
