The Book of Ahkman
1I did also speak unto the people and did instruct them of the laws and covenants that God had made with our ancestors. For these things were written in the great scroll. And I did explain unto them the meaning of these things. For behold I taught them of the history of our people. For unto those who were descended of the priests of Levi there were many laws that they did obey. And they were complex and hard to obey. But unto our ancestors who were descended from Ophir there were not so many laws. Nevertheless both laws were given of God. And now I had read these things and I did wonder concerning them. And I did take leave that I might pray unto God to know more concerning these things. And God did speak unto me saying, My servant Ahkman, You have read those covenants and laws I made with your ancestors. And they were to be my chosen people. For they were an elect people and special unto me. Wherefore I caused that the two laws of your ancestors should come together. For unto the children of Israel I did offer unto them a greater law, but behold when my servant Moses did come down from that sacred mountain he beheld that the Children of Isreal had constructed and worshiped a false god. And he was an angered and he dashed the stones of my law into pieces. And he returned again to the mountain. And I beheld the wickedness of the Israelites Wherefore I did send another law unto them. And this law was to prepare them for the law of which they were not yet ready. Yet unto the earlier inhabitants that I led unto this land was not given the law of Moses. For they did remain in that law I gave unto the Fathers. For they had no need of the preparatory things. Now when these two people came together upon these islands there was much contention. For the two refused to accept the laws of the other. Nevertheless I caused that the laws should be unified. And in this thing did your ancestors become unified. And so it shall be with you Ahkman. For I have prepared this law for your people and it is the selfsame law which was given unto your ancestors. Wherefore I shall reward the faithfulness of your people. For your people have become a special and chosen people unto me. And they have found favor with me. Wherefore I will remember them and bless them forever. These things did God speak unto me and I did speak them unto the people.
