Simple English
When Ammon had said these words, he started at the creation of the world. He also talked about the creation of Adam. He told him all the things about the fall of man. He went over the records and the Holy Scriptures of the people. He told about what had been said by the prophets down to the time that their father Lehi left Jerusalem.
Paraphrase
After saying this, Ammon started at the beginning—the creation of the world, the creation of Adam. He explained humanity's fall from grace. He went through the records and holy scriptures, recounting everything the prophets had said, right up to when their ancestor Lehi left Jerusalem.
