39 And it came to pass that many means were devised to reclaim and restore the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth, But it all was vain, for they delighted in wars and bloodsheds, And they had an eternal hatred against us, their brethren;

40 And they sought by the power of their arms to destroy us continually;

44 Born in tribulation in a wild wilderness and hated of our brethren, which caused wars and contentions; Wherefore, we did mourn out our days.

45 And I, Jacob, saw that I must soon go down to my grave; Wherefore, I said unto my son Enos: "Take these plates."

46 And I told him the things which my brother Nephi had commanded me; And he promised obedience unto the commands.
