- sinfulness, bringing down the fullness of God's wrath upon you as the people in this land have done before. Whatever nation lives here will be free from the bondage of all other nations under heaven, if they serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who has been shown to you through our records.
Now I, Moroni, continue my record.
The Lord brought Jared and his brethren to that great sea which divides the continents. They camped on the seashore in tents for four years, and they named the place Moriancumer.
After four years, the Lord came to Jared's brother again, standing in a cloud, and He talked with him for three hours. He also chastened him because he had forgotten to call upon the Lord.
- Note: Note that the Lord did not chastise Jared's brother for three hours.
Jared's brother repented of the evil he had done, and prayed to the Lord for his brethren.
The Lord said to him,
- "I will forgive you and your brethren of their sins, but do not sin anymore. Remember that my Spirit will not always be with you if you sin. If you become fully ripe in sin, then you will be cut off from my presence. This is my law upon the choice land that I will give to you for your inheritance. Now, build more barges like the ones you built before."
As before, Jared's brother, along with many of his brethren, built the barges according to the Lord's instructions. They were small and light, and floated like water fowl. They were extremely water-tight. The bottom and the sides were shaped like a dish with peaked ends.
