Izehlo eziBalulekileyo: Usapho loMprofeti uJoseph Smith lwaluhlala kulo mmandla ngexesha loMbono woKuqala (M—JS 1:3). Ngowa-421 E.K., uMoronayi wangcwaba iseti yamacwecwe egolide kwiNduli iCumorah equlathe imbali engcwele yabantu bakhe (M kaM 1:1–11; Morm. 6:6; Moro. 10:1–2). Ikwa ngulo Moronayi waxelela uJoseph Smith ukuba wayeya kuwafumana endulini amacwecwe—ngasekupheleni kwamantla enduli, ecaleni elisentshonalanga, kufutshane nomphezulu. UMoronayi wawanikela kuye ngowe-1827 (I&M 27:5; 128:20; M—JS 1:33–35, 51–54, 59).
