Textual: This is Mormon's conclusion to the incident, but this is not a conclusion to the story that Mormon is telling. There is no chapter break in the 1830 edition here, and we are to understand that Mormon did not consider this to be an ending of the story. This is ultimately a conversion story, and the final step in the conversion of Zeezrom yet awaits us in the next chapter of the current edition.
The imagery of the goat fleeing from young lions is most likely due to Joseph's interpretation of the text rather than anything on the text. There are no lions in Mesoamerica, though there are jaguars. The jaguars, however, are solitary hunters, and it is doubtful that there would be a mental image of two jaguars hunting. The possibility of two jaguars, however, would be a very strong image for a Mesoamerican, so we cannot entirely discount an original text indicating two jaguars. The goat is similarly not an Mesoamerican animal.
