“We May Know of Them What They Will Desire of Us Before We Go Down to Our Graves”

W. Cleon Skousen

From this verse it is apparent that as age crept over Jared and his brother they felt compelled to organize the people so that they could have a just and orderly society as the population increased. The first thing they did was to take a census. Then they ask this great multitude what kind of a government they desired.
