1  And now I, Jacob, speak unto you again, my beloved brethren, concerning this righteous ^abranch of which I have spoken.

  45  And thou beheldest that a ^apart thereof brought forth good fruit, and a part thereof brought forth wild fruit; and because I plucked not the branches thereof and cast them into the fire, behold, they have overcome the good branch that it hath withered away.

  28  And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in ^bpieces; and I saw him not since:

  23  Yea, and surely shall he again bring a ^aremnant of the seed of Joseph to the knowledge of the Lord their God.

  17  Behold, our father Jacob also testified concerning a ^aremnant of the seed of Joseph. And behold, are not we a remnant of the seed of Joseph? And these things which testify of us, are they not written upon the plates of brass which our father Lehi brought out of Jerusalem?

  5  Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day.

  6  And that a New Jerusalem should be built up upon this land, unto the remnant of the seed of Joseph, for which things there has been a ^ctype.

  23  And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his ^acoat, his coat of many colours that was on him;

  33  And he knew it, and said, It is my son's ^acoat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

  9  And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold ^bJoseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
