Alma 12:22

22 Now Alma said unto him: This is the thing which I was about to explain. Now we see that Adam did fall by the partaking of the forbidden fruit, according to the word of God; and thus we see, that by his fall, all mankind became a lost and fallen people.

The detail we have in these verses! Someone (who?) even recorded Alma saying, "This is the thing which I was about to explain"!

The detail that was engraved and kept from the plates to the pages, makes it all so much easier for me to imagine.

Perhaps that was the intention.

God knows how to write good books.
