According to Daniel Ludlow, the prophets Zenos and Zenock are quoted several times by the prophets of the Book of Mormon. A possible reason for this propensity in quoting them becomes evident in this reading assignment: the Nephites are descendants of the prophets Zenos and Zenock! The historian records, ". . .the prophet Zenos did testify of these things, and also Zenock spake concerning these things, because they testified particularly concerning us, who are the remnant of their seed. (3 Nephi 10:16). [Daniel H. Ludlow, A Companion to Your Study of the Book of Mormon, p. 260] [Refer to the commentary on 1 Nephi 19:10; Jacob 5]
