Ether 13
Ether speaks of a New Jerusalem to be built in America by the seed of Joseph—He prophesies, is cast out, writes the Jaredite history, and foretells the destruction of the Jaredites—War rages over all the land.
And
now
I,
Moroni,
proceed
to
finish
my
record
concerning
the
destruction
of
the
people
of
whom
I
have
been
writing.
2 For
behold,
they
rejected
all
the
words
of
Ether;
for
he
truly
told
them
of
all
things,
from
the
beginning
of
man;
and
that
after
the
waters
had
a
receded
from
off
the
face
of
this
b
land
it
became
a
choice
land
above
all
other
lands,
a
chosen
land
of
the
Lord;
wherefore
the
Lord
would
have
that
all
men
should
c
serve
him
who
dwell
upon
the
face
thereof;
3 And
that
it
was
the
place
of
the
a
New
Jerusalem,
which
should
b
come
down
out
of
heaven,
and
the
holy
sanctuary
of
the
Lord.
4 Behold,
Ether
saw
the
days
of
Christ,
and
he
spake
concerning
a
a
New
Jerusalem
upon
this
land.
5 And
he
spake
also
concerning
the
house
of
Israel,
and
the
a
Jerusalem
from
whence
b
Lehi
should
come—after
it
should
be
destroyed
it
should
be
built
up
again,
a
c
holy
city
unto
the
Lord;
wherefore,
it
could
not
be
a
new
Jerusalem
for
it
had
been
in
a
time
of
old;
but
it
should
be
built
up
again,
and
become
a
holy
city
of
the
Lord;
and
it
should
be
built
unto
the
house
of
Israel—
6 And
that
a
a
New
Jerusalem
should
be
built
up
upon
this
land,
unto
the
remnant
of
the
seed
of
b
Joseph,
for
which
things
there
has
been
a
c
type.
7 For
as
Joseph
brought
his
father
down
into
the
land
of
a
Egypt,
even
so
he
died
there;
wherefore,
the
Lord
brought
a
remnant
of
the
seed
of
Joseph
out
of
the
land
of
Jerusalem,
that
he
might
be
merciful
unto
the
seed
of
Joseph
that
they
should
b
perish
not,
even
as
he
was
merciful
unto
the
father
of
Joseph
that
he
should
perish
not.
8 Wherefore,
the
remnant
of
the
house
of
Joseph
shall
be
built
upon
this
a
land;
and
it
shall
be
a
land
of
their
inheritance;
and
they
shall
build
up
a
holy
b
city
unto
the
Lord,
like
unto
the
Jerusalem
of
old;
and
they
shall
c
no
more
be
confounded,
until
the
end
come
when
the
earth
shall
pass
away.
9 And
there
shall
be
a
a
new
heaven
and
a
new
earth;
and
they
shall
be
like
unto
the
old
save
the
old
have
passed
away,
and
all
things
have
become
new.
10 And
then
cometh
the
New
Jerusalem;
and
blessed
are
they
who
dwell
therein,
for
it
is
they
whose
garments
are
a
white
through
the
blood
of
the
Lamb;
and
they
are
they
who
are
numbered
among
the
remnant
of
the
seed
of
Joseph,
who
were
of
the
house
of
Israel.
11 And
then
also
cometh
the
a
Jerusalem
of
old;
and
the
inhabitants
thereof,
blessed
are
they,
for
they
have
been
washed
in
the
blood
of
the
Lamb;
and
they
are
they
who
were
scattered
and
gathered
in
from
the
four
quarters
of
the
earth,
and
from
the
b
north
countries,
and
are
partakers
of
the
fulfilling
of
the
covenant
which
God
made
with
their
father,
c
Abraham.
12 And
when
these
things
come,
bringeth
to
pass
the
scripture
which
saith,
there
are
they
who
were
a
first,
who
shall
be
last;
and
there
are
they
who
were
last,
who
shall
be
first.
13 And
I
was
about
to
write
more,
but
I
am
forbidden;
but
great
and
marvelous
were
the
prophecies
of
Ether;
but
they
esteemed
him
as
naught,
and
cast
him
out;
and
he
a
hid
himself
in
the
cavity
of
a
rock
by
day,
and
by
night
he
went
forth
viewing
the
things
which
should
come
upon
the
people.
14 And
as
he
dwelt
in
the
cavity
of
a
rock
he
made
the
a
remainder
of
this
record,
viewing
the
destructions
which
came
upon
the
people,
by
night.
15 And
it
came
to
pass
that
in
that
same
year
in
which
he
was
cast
out
from
among
the
people
there
began
to
be
a
great
war
among
the
people,
for
there
were
many
who
rose
up,
who
were
mighty
men,
and
sought
to
destroy
Coriantumr
by
their
secret
plans
of
wickedness,
of
which
hath
been
spoken.
16 And
now
Coriantumr,
having
studied,
himself,
in
all
the
arts
of
war
and
all
the
cunning
of
the
world,
wherefore
he
gave
battle
unto
them
who
sought
to
destroy
him.
17 But
he
repented
not,
neither
his
a
fair
sons
nor
daughters;
neither
the
fair
sons
and
daughters
of
Cohor;
neither
the
fair
sons
and
daughters
of
Corihor;
and
in
fine,
there
were
none
of
the
fair
sons
and
daughters
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
earth
who
repented
of
their
sins.
18 Wherefore,
it
came
to
pass
that
in
the
first
year
that
Ether
dwelt
in
the
cavity
of
a
rock,
there
were
many
people
who
were
slain
by
the
sword
of
those
a
secret
combinations,
fighting
against
Coriantumr
that
they
might
obtain
the
kingdom.
19 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
sons
of
Coriantumr
fought
much
and
bled
much.
20 And
in
the
second
year
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Ether,
that
he
should
go
and
a
prophesy
unto
b
Coriantumr
that,
if
he
would
repent,
and
all
his
household,
the
Lord
would
give
unto
him
his
kingdom
and
spare
the
people—
21 Otherwise
they
should
be
destroyed,
and
all
his
household
save
it
were
himself.
And
he
should
only
live
to
see
the
fulfilling
of
the
prophecies
which
had
been
spoken
concerning
a
another
people
receiving
the
land
for
their
inheritance;
and
Coriantumr
should
receive
a
burial
by
them;
and
every
soul
should
be
destroyed
save
it
were
b
Coriantumr.
22 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Coriantumr
repented
not,
neither
his
household,
neither
the
people;
and
the
wars
ceased
not;
and
they
sought
to
a
kill
Ether,
but
he
fled
from
before
them
and
hid
again
in
the
cavity
of
the
rock.
23 And
it
came
to
pass
that
there
arose
up
Shared,
and
he
also
gave
battle
unto
Coriantumr;
and
he
did
beat
him,
insomuch
that
in
the
third
year
he
did
bring
him
into
captivity.
24 And
the
sons
of
Coriantumr,
in
the
fourth
year,
did
beat
Shared,
and
did
obtain
the
kingdom
again
unto
their
father.
25 Now
there
began
to
be
a
war
upon
all
the
face
of
the
land,
a
every
man
with
his
band
fighting
for
that
which
he
desired.
26 And
there
were
robbers,
and
in
fine,
all
manner
of
wickedness
upon
all
the
face
of
the
land.
27 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Coriantumr
was
exceedingly
angry
with
Shared,
and
he
went
against
him
with
his
armies
to
battle;
and
they
did
meet
in
great
anger,
and
they
did
meet
in
the
valley
of
Gilgal;
and
the
battle
became
exceedingly
sore.
28 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Shared
fought
against
him
for
the
space
of
three
days.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
Coriantumr
beat
him,
and
did
pursue
him
until
he
came
to
the
plains
of
Heshlon.
29 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Shared
gave
him
battle
again
upon
the
plains;
and
behold,
he
did
beat
Coriantumr,
and
drove
him
back
again
to
the
valley
of
Gilgal.
30 And
Coriantumr
gave
Shared
battle
again
in
the
valley
of
Gilgal,
in
which
he
beat
Shared
and
slew
him.
31 And
Shared
wounded
Coriantumr
in
his
thigh,
that
he
did
not
go
to
battle
again
for
the
space
of
two
years,
in
which
time
all
the
people
upon
the
face
of
the
land
were
shedding
blood,
and
there
was
none
to
restrain
them.
