Nephi saw a book among the Gentiles, a book that “proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew”—the Holy Bible, as we call it, or “the book of the Lamb of God,” as he called it, which contains the covenants and prophetic promises of the holy prophets. Its contents were similar to those of the plates of brass but “not so many,” suggesting that the plates of brass had a fuller record of the people than does our current Bible, although our Bible is still “of great worth” to us “Gentiles.”
