Alma 37:21

And now, I will speak unto you concerning those twenty-four plates, that ye keep them, that the mysteries and the works of darkness, and their secret works, or the secret works of those people, which have been destroyed, may be made manifest unto this people; yea, all their murders, and robbings, and their plunderings, and all their wickedness, and abominations, may be made manifest unto this people; yea, and that ye preserve these directors.

I will talk to you about those twenty-four plates. Keep them so that the secrets and the works of darkness and their secret works of those people who have been destroyed may be shown to this people. All their murders and robbings and their stealings and all their bad things may be shown to this people. Keep these directors safe.

Now I’m going to talk to you about those twenty-four plates. Keep them so that the mysteries and works of darkness—the secret operations of those people who were destroyed—can be revealed to our people. All their murders, robberies, plunderings, wickedness, and evil practices need to be made known. And preserve these interpreters.
