Moroni Wanders to Escape Death

Event 209

Reference: Moro. 1:1-4

NOW I, Moroni, after having made an end of abridging theaccount of the people of Jared, I had supposed not to havewritten more, but I have not as yet perished; and I make notmyself known to the Lamanites lest they should destroy me.2 For behold, their wars are exceedingly fierce amongthemselves; and because of their hatred they put to deathevery Nephite that will not deny the Christ. 3 And I,Moroni, will not deny the Christ; wherefore, I wanderwhithersoever I can for the safety of mine own life. 4Wherefore, I write a few more things, contrary to thatwhich I had supposed; for I had supposed not to havewritten any more; but I write a few more things, thatperhaps they may be of worth unto my brethren, theLamanites, in some future day, according to the will of theLord.MoroniLand northwardA.D. 401 to 420
