Questions

Verse 1

  • Why does Mormon include this incident about prisoner exchange in his account? Is there a lesson of importance here for modern readers, or is this just part of a story?

Verse 2

  • Its pretty easy to see Moroni as being happy to exchange prisoners, but why would he "rejoice exceedingly"? Is there something more going on here?
  • Why would they exchange prisoners that would just become more enemy soldiers to fight?

Verse 3

  • Why would the Lamanites take women and children as prisoners, but the Nephites only took men?

Verse 5

  • If Moroni wants to exchange prisoners, why would he write an epistle that can only make Ammoron mad?
