Why Did Moroni Quote the Patriarch Jacob about a Piece of Joseph’s Coat? (Knowhy #154)

“Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved, so shall a remnant of the seed of my son be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself, while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even as the remnant of his garment”
Alma 46:24

Ultimately, Moroni’s war banner and quotation of Jacob went together to effectively legitimate the Nephite cause. Moroni’s symbolic action also invoked the power of ancestral heritage and God’s covenants with Nephite ancestors. The Title of Liberty converges comfortably with martial practices found in both the ancient Old and New World.
