Hugh Nibley states that King Benjamin’s farewell address, Mosiah’s coronation, and the accompanying events are exemplary of a typical year-rite or great assembly. While the rituals in Mosiah chapters 1 and 2 are on a much higher spiritual level than those written about in Old World texts, Nibley reveals that “not a single element of the primordial rites is missing, and nothing is added, in the Book of Mormon version.” (See Echoes, 472).
