Der Niedergang und Fall der Nephiten

Ammaron und die Aufzeichnungen der Nephiten

4 Nephi 47

Amos stirbt, und sein Bruder Ammaron wird zum Hüter der Aufzeichnungen der Nephiten.

And it came to pass that after three hundred and five years had passed away, (and the people did still remain in wickedness ) Amos died; and his brother, Ammaron, did keep the record in his stead.

4 Nephi 48

Ammaron wird durch den Heiligen Geist dazu aufgefordert, die Aufzeichnungen der Nephiten zu verbergen.

And it came to pass that when three hundred and twenty years had passed away, Ammaron, being constrained by the Holy Ghost, did hide up the records which were sacred— yea, even all the sacred records which had been handed down from generation to generation, which were sacred—even until the three hundred and twentieth year from the coming of Christ.

4 Nephi 49, Mormon 1:3

Ammaron gehorcht und versteckt die Aufzeichnungen im Hügel Schim.

And he did hide them up unto the Lord that they might come again unto the remnant of the house of Jacob according to the prophecies and the promises of the Lord. And thus is the end of the record of Ammaron.


..a hill which shall be called Shim; and there have I deposited unto the Lord all the sacred engravings concerning this people.
