The Brass Plates

In the Book of Mormon, after Lehi had left Jerusalem, by way of commandment of the Lord, he was instructed to obtain the Brass Plates that contained not only the scriptures, but also their genealogy and a means for teaching and preserving their language. Lehi called upon Nephi and his brothers to go back to Jerusalem and impress upon Laban, the keeper of the plates, to allow them to take the plates. After two futile efforts by Laman and his brothers to convince Laban to turn over the plates, Nephi convinced his brothers not to abandon the errand and to swear an oath that they would retrieve the plates.

As Nephi encountered and slew Laban outside his palace, Nephi donned Laban’s armor, clothes, and cloak and proceeded to enter Laban’s treasury unobstructed. Nephi, pretending to be Laban, convinced Laban’s servant, Zoram, to gather the plates and bring them. Zoram thinking Nephi was his master, carried out Nephi’s command and brought the plates outside the city walls where Nephi’s brothers were waiting.
