However…Slide5
So
clearly this was not a quid pro quo in the development of the final Book of Mormon product. It was not tit for tat, this for that—116 pages of manuscript for 142 pages of printed text. Not so.
We
got back more than we lost. And it was known from the beginning that it would be so.
We
do not know exactly what we have missed in the lost 116 pages, but we do know that what we received on the small plates was the personal declarations of three great witnesses (Nephi, Jacob, Isaiah), three of the great doctrinal voices of the Book of Mormon, testifying that Jesus is the Christ.

Ensign
, Jan. 1996, 13–14)
