“The Last Words Which King Benjamin Had Taught Them”

Brant Gardner

Redaction: As noted, Mormon elects to describe the explanation of Benjamin’s teachings rather than repeat them. Though they were important for Limhi’s people, Mormon knew that he had already presented them in full. It is important to know that Limhi’s people received the instruction about the new covenant but not important for Mormon’s readers to see it again.
