1In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne , high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
I, Nephi, did take my family, and also Zoram and his family, and Sam, mine elder brother and his family, and Jacob and Joseph, my younger brethren, and also my sisters. 5:6
Trivia: What did God say would happen to those who mixed their seed with Nephi's cursed brothers?
16:1-13
1In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne , high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
In the year that King Uzzah died,
I [Isaiah] saw God sitting on a throne.
2 Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me.
9 And he said: Go and tell this people -- Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not.
10Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes -- lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and be healed.
11 Then said I: Lord, how long? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;
12 And the Lord have removed men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13 But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall be eaten, as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves; so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
(16:2, 6) seraphims -- 1830 Book of Mormon
The plural of seraph is seraphim, not seraphims, as in the KJV. The
1830 edition copied the KJV error, which was corrected in later translations.
(16:5) Wo me! -- 1830 Book of Mormon
The 1830 edition left off the italicized word "is" from the KJV, which was corrected in later verions.
(16:8) Here I; send me. -- 1830 Book of
Mormon
The KJV italicized word "am" was deleted in the 1830 version.
(16:10) Make the heart of this people fat.
God will prevent people from hearing and understanding "lest they ... convert and be healed."
