3 And the prophecies which he wrote - there are not many greater;
4 And he prophesied concerning us and our future generations,
5 And they are written upon the plates of brass.
6 Wherefore, after my father had made an end of speaking concerning the prophecies of Joseph, he called the children of Laman, his sons and his daughters, and saith unto them:
7 "Behold, my sons and my daughters which are the sons and the daughters of my firstborn: I would that ye should give ear unto my words,
8 For the Lord God hath said that, 'Inasmuch as ye shall keep My commandments, ye shall prosper in the land;
9 And inasmuch as ye will not keep My commandments, ye shall be cut off from My presence.'
10 "But behold, my sons and my daughters, I cannot go down to my grave save I should leave a blessing upon you;
11 For behold, I know that if ye are brought up in the right way that ye should go, ye will not depart from it;
12 Wherefore, if ye are cursed, behold, I leave my blessing upon you that the cursing may be taken from you and be answered upon the heads of your parents;
13 Wherefore, because of my blessing, the Lord God will not suffer that ye shall perish; Wherefore, He will be merciful unto you and unto your seed forever."
