1 Nephi 5:222 Wherefore, the things which
transpired before that I made these plates are, of a truth, more particularly made mention upon the first plates.
Ether 1:3 And as I suppose that the first part of this record which speaketh concerning the creation of the world, and also of Adam - And an account from that time, even to the Great Tower, And whatsoever things
transpired among the children of men until that time - is had among the Jews,
Ether 1:4 Therefore, I do not write those things which
transpired from the days of Adam until that time, But they are had upon the plates; And whoso findeth them, the same will have power that he may get the full account.
