Kati na Malongi mpe Mayokani 123:7–8, Joseph Smith alobelaki bindimeli ya lokuta oyo ekambaki na mpasi, kobakisa na minyoko ya Basantu.

Kasi kati na mikanda na ye oyo akomaki uta na Boloko ya Liberty, Joseph alobelaki bango oyo bakokaki kosala: “[kosangisa] boyebi ya makambo nyonso ya solo” mpe “kotelema ngwi, na elikya monene, mpo na kotala Lobiko ya Nzambe” (Malongi mpe Mayokani 123:1, 17). Ntango bozali komona makambo na mokili lelo, bokanisa oyo etali ndenge ya kozwila yango oyo “efandi kati na nguya [na bino]” (milongo 12, 17). Mpe bomona biloko mpamba te lokola “makambo mikemike” (molongo 15). Mpo na nini ezali motuya ya kosala makambo oyo na “esengo”? (molongo 17).
