“Every ancient people held [a] yearly assembly, they held it in the new year, and the king presided. When they had the new king, it was the New Age, and they brought their first-fruits. … This was not only in Israel, but in at least every other major ancient civilization. Notice he brings them together. … He has to send out the proclamation; that’s the heror. When you get the proclamation, you must come or be banished from the kingdom for three [years]” (Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, 1:448).
