Kiin̄ Benjamin ekar katakin, “Bwe armej ilo lukkuun biktokin ej rikōjdat n̄an Anij, im eaar jān wōtļo̧k eo an Adam, im enaaj indeeo im indeeo, m̧ae an naaj kōtļo̧k e n̄an karreelel ko an Jetōb Kwojarjar im utūkļo̧k armej eo ilo lukkuun biktokin … kōn pinmuur eo an Kraist Irooj” (Mosaia 3:19). N̄an uwaake menin im katak ko jet, armej ro an Benjamin rekar jar, “O Kwōn tūriam̧o, im kōjerbal bōtōktōkin pinmuur eo an Kraist bwe kōmin maron̄ bōk jeorļo̧k bōd in jerawiwi, im būruōm̧ ren karreo” (Mosaia 4:2; eoon eo eaorōk kar kobaiktok). Ālkin aer kar jar, Irooj ekar uwaake n̄an m̧ōttan ko ruo rekar kajjitōk kaki. M̧okta, jetōbōn Irooj eaar wanlaļtak ioer, im raar obrak kōn lan̄lōn̄, im raar bōk jeorļo̧k in jero̧wiwi ko aer, im kar wōr aer aenōm̧m̧an in bōklōkōt” (Mosaia 4:3).

Ke ej lo bwe armej ro an rekar “bōk jeorļo̧k,” Kiin̄ Benjamin ekar loloorjake bwe ren lukkuun bōk kōmour ilo an katkain er wāween n̄an dāpdep ilo jeorļo̧k bōd (lale Mosaia 4:11–30). “Eļan̄n̄e kom̧ij kōm̧m̧ane menin kom̧ naaj m̧ōņōņō iien otemjej, im naaj obrak kōn iakwe eo an Anij, im iien otemjej bōk jeorļo̧k eo kōn jero̧wiwi ko ami” (Mosaia 4:12).

Rikanaan Alma ekar katakin bwe jej aikuj jim̧or ukweļo̧k im bar ļotak—ļotak ilo Anij, ekar oktak ilo buruōd im bar ļotak—ļotak jān Anij, oktak ilo buruōd (lale Alma 5:49). Ilo ad wōnm̧aanļo̧k wōt im ukweļo̧k, Irooj enaaj bōk jeorļo̧k jerawiwi ko ad im Enaaj bōki men ko me piktokid ej kwaļo̧k ak kōtļo̧k jerawiwi ilo kōj Ak, in naan ko an Inōs, Irooj, ekōjkan an men in kōm̧m̧an? ” (Inōs 1:7). Uwaak eļam waan, aaet ekabūlōn̄lōn̄ im indeeo. N̄an ro em̧ōj aer bōk kōmour jān jabdewōt jōkjōk, ilo ānbwin ak jetōb, Irooj ekar ba, Am̧ tōmak ear kemour eok” (lale Mark 5:34; Inōs 1:8).

Oktak in ekajoor kōm̧m̧an ilo bōro me ekar waļo̧k n̄an Alma ekar bōro ekar ejaake “ekkar n̄an an tōmak,” im bōro ko an ro rikaļoor rekar oktak ilo aer “likūt aer lōke ilo Anij em̧ool im emour. (Alma 5:12, 13) Buruōn armej ro an Kiin̄ Benjamin rekar “oktak kōn tōmak ilo Etan [Rilo̧mo̧o̧r]” (Mosaia 5:7).

Eļan̄n̄e jenaaj bōk kain tōmak in, bwe jen maron̄ lōke Irooj kōn aolepen būruom̧, jej aikuj kōm̧m̧ane ta eo ej tōl n̄an tōmak innem kōm̧m̧ane ta eo tōmak ej tōl eok n̄ane.
