Ether 6
The Jaredite barges are driven by the winds to the promised land—The people praise the Lord for His goodness—Orihah is appointed king over them—Jared and his brother die.
And
now
I,
Moroni,
proceed
to
give
the
record
of
a
Jared
and
his
brother.
2 For
it
came
to
pass
after
the
Lord
had
prepared
the
a
stones
which
the
brother
of
Jared
had
carried
up
into
the
mount,
the
brother
of
Jared
came
down
out
of
the
mount,
and
he
did
put
forth
the
stones
into
the
vessels
which
were
prepared,
one
in
each
end
thereof;
and
behold,
they
did
give
light
unto
the
vessels.
3 And
thus
the
Lord
caused
stones
to
shine
in
darkness,
to
give
light
unto
men,
women,
and
children,
that
they
might
not
cross
the
great
waters
in
darkness.
4 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
they
had
prepared
all
manner
of
a
food,
that
thereby
they
might
subsist
upon
the
water,
and
also
food
for
their
flocks
and
herds,
and
b
whatsoever
beast
or
animal
or
fowl
that
they
should
carry
with
them—and
it
came
to
pass
that
when
they
had
done
all
these
things
they
got
aboard
of
their
vessels
or
barges,
and
set
forth
into
the
sea,
commending
themselves
unto
the
Lord
their
God.
5 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
Lord
God
caused
that
there
should
be
a
a
furious
wind
blow
upon
the
face
of
the
waters,
b
towards
the
promised
land;
and
thus
they
were
tossed
upon
the
waves
of
the
sea
before
the
wind.
6 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
were
many
times
buried
in
the
depths
of
the
sea,
because
of
the
mountain
waves
which
broke
upon
them,
and
also
the
great
and
terrible
tempests
which
were
caused
by
the
fierceness
of
the
wind.
7 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
they
were
buried
in
the
deep
there
was
no
water
that
could
hurt
them,
their
vessels
being
a
tight
like
unto
a
dish,
and
also
they
were
tight
like
unto
the
b
ark
of
Noah;
therefore
when
they
were
encompassed
about
by
many
waters
they
did
cry
unto
the
Lord,
and
he
did
bring
them
forth
again
upon
the
top
of
the
waters.
8 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
wind
did
never
cease
to
blow
towards
the
promised
land
while
they
were
upon
the
waters;
and
thus
they
were
a
driven
forth
before
the
wind.
9 And
they
did
a
sing
praises
unto
the
Lord;
yea,
the
brother
of
Jared
did
sing
praises
unto
the
Lord,
and
he
did
b
thank
and
praise
the
Lord
all
the
day
long;
and
when
the
night
came,
they
did
not
cease
to
praise
the
Lord.
10 And
thus
they
were
driven
forth;
and
no
monster
of
the
sea
could
break
them,
neither
a
whale
that
could
mar
them;
and
they
did
have
light
continually,
whether
it
was
above
the
water
or
under
the
water.
11 And
thus
they
were
driven
forth,
a
three
hundred
and
forty
and
four
days
upon
the
water.
12 And
they
did
a
land
upon
the
shore
of
the
b
promised
land.
And
when
they
had
set
their
feet
upon
the
shores
of
the
promised
land
they
bowed
themselves
down
upon
the
face
of
the
land,
and
did
humble
themselves
before
the
Lord,
and
did
shed
tears
of
joy
before
the
Lord,
because
of
the
multitude
of
his
c
tender
mercies
over
them.
13 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
went
forth
upon
the
face
of
the
land,
and
began
to
till
the
earth.
14 And
Jared
had
four
a
sons;
and
they
were
called
Jacom,
and
Gilgah,
and
Mahah,
and
Orihah.
15 And
the
brother
of
Jared
also
begat
sons
and
daughters.
16 And
the
a
friends
of
Jared
and
his
brother
were
in
number
about
twenty
and
two
souls;
and
they
also
begat
sons
and
daughters
before
they
came
to
the
promised
land;
and
therefore
they
began
to
be
many.
17 And
they
were
taught
to
a
walk
humbly
before
the
Lord;
and
they
were
also
b
taught
from
on
high.
18 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
began
to
spread
upon
the
face
of
the
land,
and
to
multiply
and
to
till
the
earth;
and
they
did
wax
strong
in
the
land.
19 And
the
brother
of
Jared
began
to
be
old,
and
saw
that
he
must
soon
go
down
to
the
grave;
wherefore
he
said
unto
Jared:
Let
us
gather
together
our
people
that
we
may
number
them,
that
we
may
know
of
them
what
they
will
desire
of
us
before
we
go
down
to
our
graves.
20 And
accordingly
the
people
were
gathered
together.
Now
the
number
of
the
sons
and
the
daughters
of
the
brother
of
Jared
were
twenty
and
two
souls;
and
the
number
of
sons
and
daughters
of
Jared
were
twelve,
he
having
four
sons.
21 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
did
number
their
people;
and
after
that
they
had
numbered
them,
they
did
desire
of
them
the
things
which
they
would
that
they
should
do
before
they
went
down
to
their
graves.
22 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
people
desired
of
them
that
they
should
a
anoint
one
of
their
sons
to
be
a
king
over
them.
23 And
now
behold,
this
was
grievous
unto
them.
And
the
brother
of
Jared
said
unto
them:
Surely
this
thing
a
leadeth
into
captivity.
24 But
Jared
said
unto
his
brother:
Suffer
them
that
they
may
have
a
king.
And
therefore
he
said
unto
them:
Choose
ye
out
from
among
our
sons
a
king,
even
whom
ye
will.
25 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
chose
even
the
firstborn
of
the
brother
of
Jared;
and
his
name
was
Pagag.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
refused
and
would
not
be
their
a
king.
And
the
people
would
that
his
father
should
constrain
him,
but
his
father
would
not;
and
he
commanded
them
that
they
should
constrain
no
man
to
be
their
king.
26 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
chose
all
the
brothers
of
Pagag,
and
they
would
not.
27 And
it
came
to
pass
that
neither
would
the
a
sons
of
Jared,
even
all
save
it
were
one;
and
b
Orihah
was
anointed
to
be
king
over
the
people.
28 And
he
began
to
reign,
and
the
people
began
to
a
prosper;
and
they
became
exceedingly
rich.
29 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Jared
died,
and
his
brother
also.
30 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Orihah
did
walk
humbly
before
the
Lord,
and
did
remember
how
great
things
the
Lord
had
done
for
his
father,
and
also
taught
his
people
how
great
things
the
Lord
had
done
for
their
fathers.
