Ether 2
1 And now I, Moroni, have written the words which were commanded me, according to my memory; And I have told you the things which I have sealed up; Therefore, touch them not in order that ye may translate; For that thing is forbidden you, except by and by it shall be wisdom in God.
2 And behold, ye may be privileged that ye may show the plates unto those who shall assist to bring forth this work; And unto three shall they be shown by the power of God; Wherefore, they shall know of a surety that these things are true.
3 And in the mouth of three witnesses shall these things be established; And the testimony of three and this work - in the which shall be shown forth the power of God, and also His word, of which the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost beareth record - And all this shall stand as a testimony against the world at the last day;
4 And if it so be that they repent and come unto the Father in the name of Jesus, they shall be received into the kingdom of God.
5 And now, if I have no authority for these things, judge ye, For ye shall know that I have authority when ye shall see me, And we shall stand before God at the last day. Amen.
Ether 3
1 And now I, Moroni, proceed to give the record of Jared and his brother.
2 For it came to pass that after that the Lord had prepared the stones which the brother of Jared had carried up into the mount, the brother of Jared came down out of the mount; And he did put forth the stones into the vessels which were prepared, one in each end thereof, And behold, they did give light unto the vessels thereof;
3 And thus the Lord caused stones to shine in darkness to give light unto men, women and children, that they might not cross the great waters in darkness.
4 And it came to pass that when they had prepared all manner of food, that thereby they might subsist upon the water - And also food for their flocks and herds and whatsoever beast or animal or fowl that they should carry with them -
5 And it came to pass that when they had done all these things, They got aboard of their vessels, or barges, and set forth into the sea, commending themselves unto the Lord their God.
6 And it came to pass that the Lord God caused that there should a furious wind blow upon the face of the waters toward the Promised Land; And thus they were tossed upon the waves of the sea before the wind.
