As another proof of the Book of Mormon’s authenticity, “Hebrew uses conjunctions much more frequently than English does. One clear example of this can be found in lists of items. In English, the conjunction and is normally used only before the last item in a list, such as wood, iron, copper, and brass. But Hebrew usually uses a conjunction before each item. The Book of Mormon contains many examples of this Hebrew-like usage, such as this one found in 2 Nephi 5:15: ‘in all manner of wood, and of iron, and of copper, and of brass, and of steel, and of gold, and of silver, and of precious ores’” (Tvedtnes, “Hebrew Background,” 82).
