That's not a safe assumption to make. Not mentioning the large plates does not mean that he didn't have them. It only means that he didn't mention them. Ahh, now that's exactly what I was looking for! Here we have scriptural proof that the large and small plates where kept by separate people for at least some of the time. Thanks for that! That hadn't sunk in before.Because of that, I concede that it's much more likely that the second king got the large plates than did Jacob. However since it doesn't actually say that, were I to write a trivia question about this I'd phrase it as "most likely" and then I'd leave Jacob out as a possibility in the answer choices just to avoid argument.

Yeah, I'm stickin with "we don't know" :) But come to think of it, I need to check to see if I've got a question about this in my app. I might have put the wrong answer in!

I'm assuming that Jacob got them because he had the small plates, and I'm not aware of any time when the Large plates were watched by one person while the Small plates were watched by a second person. Now, even if I'm wrong about that, that still doesn't mean for sure that Nephi gave the second king the record. If it doesn't state that anywhere then I think the answer has to be "we don't know", unless the question is rephrased to something like "who did Nephi most likely give the large plates to".

Yes, but it ALSO doesn't say that Nephi gave the large plates to him. So where is that coming from?

Reference?

So are you going to say that the answer is "we don't know"? Jacob doesn't specifically mention the large plates in Jacob chapter 1 when he's taking over for Nephi, so I guess you could make the argument that he might have given them to the king that he appointed. I find that unlikely though. There's no indication anywhere that I know of that the record was split up like that, and Jacob clearly had the small plates. I think Jacob there was pointing out Nephi's instruction to keep the small plates for spiritual matters, rather than implying that he didn't have the large plates. I could be wrong though :)

Jacob? Who did Nephi son of Helaman pass the records to? :)

Hello all! I'm new here, so I really don't want this to sound spammy, but I just launched a Book of Mormon Trivia game for the iPhone and I'm hoping to get feedback about it. It looked to me that the General forum would be best place to do this, so here I am :) It's my first iPhone app and I'm very excited about it, there's over 200 Book of Mormon questions of varying difficulty (some of them are really hard!) with more on the way, and it lets you see what questions you got wrong and what the right answers are. I'd love to hear from everyone about what features you'd like to see, or anything you'd like changed about the app. If you've got iTunes you can find the app here: iTunes Store Thanks! -- Orien -- Sticky Buzz Software
