Moroni 10:2, Ether 4:5, Title Page, Mormon 8:4, 14

And I seal up these records, after I have spoken a few words by way of exhortation unto you.


And he commanded me that I should seal them up; and he also hath commanded that I should seal up the interpretation thereof; wherefore I have sealed up the interpreters, according to the commandment of the Lord.


…Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile…


Therefore I will write and hide up the records in the earth; and whither I go it mattereth not.


And I am the same who hideth up this record unto the Lord; the plates thereof are of no worth, because of the commandment of the Lord. for he truly saith that no one shall have them to get gain; but the record thereof is of great worth; and whoso shall bring it to light, him will the Lord bless.
