In the invitation for his people to assemble, Benjamin said, “I shall give this people a name, that thereby they may be distinguished above all the people which the Lord God hath brought out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I do because they have been a diligent people in keeping the commandments of the Lord” (Mosiah 1:11). What follows (to the end of chapter five) is one of the most detailed recitations of a discourse contained in holy writ. It is not until the conclusion of this discourse that Benjamin announces the name to be given his people.
