The Book of Mormon, Part 6 summary
Part 6 of 17 · 3 min to read the part
In The Book of Jarom, Jarom preserves his genealogy and describes how the Nephites resist Lamanite attacks while religious teachers urge obedience and repentance. He connects their survival and prosperity with keeping God’s commandments, limits his account because the plates are small, and gives them to his son Omni.
What happens
