The Book of Mormon

Mormon 3:17

1830 Edition

Therefore I write unto you, Gentiles, and also unto you, house of Israel, when the work shall commence, that ye shall be about to prepare to return to the land of your inheritance;

Simple English

So I am writing to you, non-Jewish people. I am also writing to you, house of Israel. When the work starts, you will be getting ready to return to your homeland.

Paraphrase

That’s why I’m writing to you—to the Gentiles, and to the house of Israel—for when you’re about to return to your homeland.
