Moroni is the steward of the Book of Mormon and the
Plates. He is authorized to show them to
others and to withhold them. He was
authorized to show them to Joseph Smith.
He was very strict with Joseph about who could see the plates. There were three authorized witnesses: Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin
Harris. These witnesses saw the plates and heard the voice of God declaring
they were holy. These three witnesses
are spoken of in this chapter. I found
it interesting to note that there are three members of the Godhead. All witness the truthfulness of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ, Three Witnesses.
