El punto principal del libro es lo que frecuentemente es reiterado a los Nefitas y a los miembros de la iglesia: De la manera que cumplas con mis mandamientos de la misma manera prosperaran en la tierra. Jaróm hizo esto al señalar a los Nefitas, quienes continuamente fueron exhortados a que hicieran lo correcto y fueron bendecidos por eso. Durante este tiempo, los Nefitas tuvieron muchas batallas con los Lamanitas, pero debido a que cumplieron con los mandamientos, fueron continuamente bendecidos y prosperaron grandemente. Jaróm aún enseña que debido a que hacían lo correcto, habían muchos que recibieron revelación del Señor. Jaróm concluye el registro al entregar las planchas, las cuales él recibió de Enós, su padre, a su hijo Omni.

Contents

The principle point of the book is what is often reiterated to the Nephites and to church members: Inasmuch as ye will keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land. Jarom explains that the Nephites were a "stiffnecked" people, but were continually exhorted to righteousness and were blessed because of it. During his time, the Nephites had many battles with the Lamanites, but because they kept the commandments, they were continually blessed and prospered greatly. Jarom even states that because of this righteousness, there were many who were receiving revelation from the Lord. Jarom explains that the Nephites were keeping the Law of Moses, looking forward to the coming of Christ. His criticism of the Lamanites reflects a bias, as he insinuates not only that the Lamanites had become violent, but that they had abandoned the Mosaic dietary laws (..."they loved murder and would drink the blood of beasts.")

Jarom concludes the record by handing the plates, which he received from Enos, his father, to his son Omni.
