KnoWhy Videos | 02 min

“But behold, I shall take these plates, which contain these prophesyings and revelations, and put them with the remainder of my record, for they are choice unto me.”
Words Of Mormon 1:6

In both the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants we find references to how valuable the small plates were. Some may naturally wonder what Mormon and the Lord found so significant in Nephi’s condensed record.
