Book Of Mormon.pdf

Lehi warned the people in Jerusalem to repent, but they didn't listen, so the Lord told him to take his family into the wilderness. Lehi's sons were sent to get the brass plates, which had the history of their ancestors. The Lord gave Lehi a compass called the Liahona to guide them to the promised land. Nephi was told to build a boat to take his family to the promised land, but his brothers Laman and Lemuel disobeyed. The family sailed to the promised land, where Nephi's descendants became known as the Nephites and Laman's descendants became known as the Lamanites. Other prophets, such as King Benjamin, Abinadi, and Alma, taught the gospel and were sometimes persecuted. A Lamanite prophet named Samuel prophesied of Jesus Christ's birth. Jesus was born, taught, healed, and was crucified and resurrected. He visited the Nephites and Lamanites after His Resurrection. The Book of Mormon was written on metal plates by prophets such as Nephi, Jacob, and Mormon, and was later translated by Joseph Smith with the help of Moroni, who had buried the plates.
