Those present on the first day had participated in the sacrament. Now new arrivals had the same opportunity of partaking of the sacrament and making the same covenants.
Culture: Like the previous experience with the sacrament, the “bread” and “wine” would have consisted of items available in Mesoamerica. (See commentary accompanying 3 Nephi 18:1.)
