Mosiah 8

King Limhi’s people have tried to find their way back to Zarahemla but failed. In their expeditions, they have found the remains of the people of Jared who migrated separately to the new world at the time of the Tower of Babel. They found the 24 gold plates of the Jaredites that Joseph Smith wasn’t allowed to translate and the Lord sealed them so he couldn’t. However, Limhi asks Ammon if there is someone who can translate them and he tells them that King Mosiah can because he is a seer and can use the urim and thummim. Limhi thinks that a seer must be greater even than a prophet, probably thinking at that a prophet can foretell things while a seer can know things past and present. Ammon explains that seer is a prophet and a revelator also. He explains that a seer can know things and behold things that are past and present, that all things can be made known to him. And this is what we sustain our prophets and apostles to be, prophets, seers and revelators.
