Finally, in conclusion of this first section of his speech, just as he had begun by telling his people that he had been consecrated by his father to be king and had been kept and preserved by God’s matchless power (2:11), Benjamin ends by returning to these same points. He notes that "the Lord God doth support me, … that I should declare unto you this day, that my son Mosiah is a king and a ruler over you" (2:30).
As will become clear as we carefully read this beautifully composed speech, Benjamin’s words separate into seven sections, as do many of the Psalms, and as does the Gospel of Matthew. Some scholars have referred to this as a "menorah pattern," echoing the seven-branched configuration of the menorah in the Temple. And in this connection, we recall that Benjamin’s speech and Mosiah’s coronation was held surrounding the temple.
