“I Should Make These Plates”

Brant Gardner

Nephi begins to make the distinction between the content value of the official Plates of Nephi (known to us as the large plates of Nephi) and the unofficial plates (small "p") of Nephi (known to us as the small plates of Nephi). The secondary set (from which we are reading) is specifically commanded to be written to contain the account of the "ministry of my people."
