SOSP The Recovery 3 — The instruments and the scribe Joseph Smith—History 1:34–35 and the official essay “Book of Mormon Translation” supply the traditional instruments and terminology. Tylarion and Nathoni’s scene is an original Society recovery legend.

SOSP First Nephi 4 — The fruit and the audience Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 8:10–18, 26–28. The meal, register, and dialogue are new SOSP writing.

SOSP First Nephi 5 — Hold to the iron rod Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 8:19–30 and 11:25. In the source, the rod signifies the word of God; the handrail interpretation here is the Society’s deliberate inversion.

SOSP First Nephi 6 — The great and spacious building Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 8:26–28 and 11:35–36. The source’s mocking building is transformed here into a critique of both conformity and competitive nonconformity.

SOSP First Nephi 7 — The promised land and the next morning Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 17–18 supplies the ship and voyage. The treatment of consent, arrival, and land claims is original SOSP commentary.

SOSP Second Nephi 4 — Sariah and the record of everyone Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 2:5 and 5:1–9 name Sariah and describe her concern and relief. The poster/caption episode is new SOSP writing.

SOSP Second Nephi 5 — The still small voice and the open window The phrase appears in 1 Kings 19:12 and in Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 17:45. The treatment of interpretation and consent here is SOSP’s, not a summary of LDS doctrine.

SOSP Mosiah 3 — King Benjamin lowers the platform Book of Mormon, Mosiah 2:7–18, especially the tower, written address, shared mortality, labor, and service. Later callbacks and dialogue are invented.

SOSP Helaman 4 — The armies of Helaman Book of Mormon, Alma 56:47–48 and 57:20–27 supplies Helaman’s young soldiers, their mothers’ teaching, wounds, and survival. This chapter adds the Society’s ethic of care and does not reproduce song lyrics.

SOSP Ether 3 — The barges and the necessary question Book of Mormon, Ether 2:16–25 and 3:1. The source’s barges have ventilation openings and no windows; this is a literary scene, not boatbuilding guidance.

SOSP Ether 4 — Sixteen lights and two interpreters Book of Mormon, Ether 3:1–6, 22–24; 6:2–3. The official essay “Book of Mormon Translation” discusses the later overlapping terminology for interpreters and a seer stone.
