Scriptures/The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is, "the word of God."
Prophecy/promise given to Joseph in Egypt concerning the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
"Read this, I pray thee ... I canot; for it is sealed."
The same (roughly) as Isaiah 29.
Language used for Nephi's record described. (Small plates specifically, though it is presumed the same language was used for the other records, including the abridgement that became the Book of Mormon)
- Joseph Smith, compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p. 120
"'How and where did you obtain the Book of Mormon?'
Moroni, who deposited the plates in a hill in Manchester, Ontario County, New York, being dead and raised again therefrom, appeared unto me, and told me where they were, and gave me directions how to obtain them. I obtained them, and the Urim and Thummim with them, by means of which I translated the plates; and thus came the Book of Mormon."
