1 Nephi 9:2

And now, as I have spoken concerning these plates, behold, they are not the plates upon which I make a full account of the history of my people; for the plates upon which I make a full account of my people, I have given the name of Nephi; wherefore, they are called the plates of Nephi, after mine own name; and these plates also, are called the plates of Nephi.

I have spoken about these plates. These are not the plates where I write the full history of my people. I named the plates with the full history ‘the plates of Nephi’ after myself. These plates I’m writing on now are also called ‘the plates of Nephi.’

Let me explain about these plates I’m writing on. These aren’t the ones where I’m recording our complete history. I’ve named those other plates after myself—the plates of Nephi. These plates I’m writing on now are also called the plates of Nephi.
