Omni 1:3

And it came to pass that two hundred and seventy and six years had passed away, and we had many seasons of peace; and we had many seasons of serious war and bloodshed.—Yea, and in fine, two hundred and eighty and two years had passed away, and I had kept these plates according to the commandments of my fathers; and I conferred them upon my son Amaron. And I make an end.

Two hundred seventy-six years passed. We had many times of peace and many times of serious war and fighting. By the time two hundred eighty-two years had passed, I had taken care of these plates like my fathers told me to. I gave them to my son Amaron. I am done writing.

Two hundred and seventy-six years passed. We had many seasons of peace, and many seasons of brutal war and bloodshed. In all, two hundred and eighty-two years went by. I kept these plates as my ancestors commanded, then I passed them on to my son Amaron. That’s all I have to say.
