Moroni makes a veiled reference to the coat of “many colors.” This infamous coat was torn into pieces, but a portion of it was preserved symbolizing that portion of Joseph’s posterity would be preserved and redeemed. Moroni said,
’…we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph, whose coat was rent by his brethren into many pieces…
…let us remember the words of Jacob, before his death, for behold, he saw that a part of the remnant of the coat of Joseph was preserved and had not decayed. And he said—Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved, so shall a remnant of the seed of my son be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself, while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even as the remnant of his garment’ (Alma 46:23-24).
