1 Nephi 13:23

And he saith, Behold, it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew, and I, Nephi, beheld it; and he saith unto me, The Book which thou beholdest, is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants of the Lord which he hath made unto the House of Israel; and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the Holy Prophets; and it is a record like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many; nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the House of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.

He said: “It comes from a Jewish person.” I saw it. He said to me: “This Book you see is a record of the Jewish people. It contains God’s promises that he made to Israel. It also contains many prophecies from holy prophets. It is like the writings on the brass plates, but there are not as many. But they still contain God’s promises to Israel. So they are very valuable to the Gentiles.”

“It came from a Jew,” he explained. “This book you’re seeing is the Jewish record. It contains God’s promises to Israel and many prophecies from the holy prophets. It’s like what’s written on the brass plates, though not as complete. Still, it holds God’s promises to Israel—priceless for the Gentiles.”
