“To have the commandments written in your hearts is a prevalent Old Testament concept. Isaiah invites ‘the people in whose heart is written my law’ to hearken (Isaiah 51:7). Jeremiah, whose record was only partly upon the plates of brass (see 1 Nephi 5:13), quotes the Lord: ‘I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it upon their hearts’ (Jeremiah 31:33). Paul quotes the prophecy of Jeremiah (Hebrews 8:8–10) and paraphrases it to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 3:3). A Proverb advises to ‘write [the commandments] upon the table of thine heart’ (3:3). The priests of Noah had chosen iniquity rather than following this symbolic internalizing of the commandments” (Nyman, These Records Are True, 335–36).
