Introduction

Both 1 Samuel 3:1 and Psalm 119 really bring out how Torah, which is YHWH’s word, is precious to YHWH Elohim, who is Yeshua / Jesus see Modalism.

New Translation / JST / Inspired Version of the Bible

1 Nephi (LDS 13:20-42)(RLDS 3:156-200) brings out how plain and precious words were removed from the Bible before it went to the nations. Both plain and precious points to Torah. When you study all of the New Translation / JST / Inspired Version of the Bible you will see it is more pro Torah than the KJV is, that Joseph Smith corrected.

The Lord of the Rings

In the series The Lord of the Rings, the Ring, which represents Torah, is precious to Smeagol / Gollum, who represents the merciful and the vengeful aspects of how many people view Yeshua / Jesus the Son of Elohim.

1 Nephi (LDS 13:20-42)(RLDS 3:156-200)
AA 20 And it came to pass that I, Nephi,
AB beheld that they [Gentiles] did prosper in the land;
-BAAA and I beheld a book [Bible],
-BAAB and it was carried forth among them.
-B-BA 21 And the angel [YHWH] said unto me:
-B-BB Knowest thou the meaning of the book [Bible]?
-BAA 22 And I said unto Him [YHWH]:
-BAB I know not.
–CAA 23 And He [YHWH] said:
–CAB Behold it [Bible] proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew.
–CAC And I, Nephi, beheld it;
–CBA and He [YHWH] said unto me:
–CBB The book [Bible] that thou beholdest
–CBC is a record of the Jews,
—DAA which contains the covenants [Torah] of the Lord [YHWH],
—DAB which He [YHWH] hath made
—DAC unto the house [people] of Israel;
—D-BA and it [Bible] also containeth
—D-BB many of the prophecies
—D-BC of the holy prophets;
—D-BA and it [Bible] is a record like unto the engravings
—D-BB which are upon the plates of brass,
—D-BC save there are not so many;
—DAA nevertheless, they contain the covenants [Torah] of the Lord [YHWH],
—DAB which He [YHWH] hath made unto the house [people] of Israel;
—DAC wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.
—-EA 24 And the angel of the Lord [YHWH] said unto me:
—-E-B Thou hast beheld that the book [Bible]
—-E–C proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew;
—-E—DA and when it [Bible] proceeded forth
—-E—DB from the mouth of a Jew
—-E—DA it [Bible] contained the fulness [sanctification]
—-E—DB of the gospel of the Lord [YHWH],
—-E–CA of whom [Yeshua] the twelve apostles bear record;
—-E–CB and they [apostles] bear record
—-E-B according to the truth [Torah]
—-EA which is in the Lamb [Yeshua] of God [Elohim].
—–FA 25 Wherefore, these things [Bible]
—–F-B go forth from the Jews in purity unto the Gentiles,
—–FA according to the truth [Torah] which is in God [Elohim].
——GAAA 26 And after they go forth
——GAA-B by the hand [work] of the twelve apostles of the Lamb [Yeshua],
——GAAA from the Jews unto the Gentiles,
——GABA thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church,
——GABB which is most abominable above all other churches;
——GABC for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb [Yeshua]
——GBAA many parts which are plain [Torah]
——GBAB and most precious [Torah];
——GBAC and also many covenants [Torah]
——GBB of the Lord [YHWH] have they taken away.

——-H-B that they might pervert
——-H–C the right ways [Torah] of the Lord [YHWH],
——-H-B that they might blind [sin] the eyes [desires]
——-HA and harden the hearts of the children of men [Matthew 24].
——–IAA 28 Wherefore, thou seest that after the book [Bible]
——–IAB hath gone forth through the hands [works]
——–I-B of the great and abominable church,
——–I–C that there are many plain [Torah]
——–I–C and precious [Torah] things
——–I-B taken away from the book [Bible],
——–IAA which is the book [Bible]
——–IAB of the Lamb [Yeshua] of God [Elohim].1
———JAAA 29 And after these plain [Torah] and precious [Torah] things
———JAAB were taken away
———JABA it [Bible] goeth forth
———JABB unto all the nations of the Gentiles;

———J-BA-B unto all the nations of the Gentiles,
———J-BA–C yea, even across the many waters
———J-BA-B which thou hast seen with the Gentiles
———J-BAA which have gone forth out of captivity, thou seest—
———J-BBA because of the many plain [Torah] and precious [Torah] things
———J-BB-B which have been taken out of the book [Bible],
———J-BB–C which were plain [Torah]
———J-BB–C unto the understanding of the children of men,

———JAAB of the gospel of the Lamb [Yeshua],
———JABA an exceedingly great many do stumble,
———JABB yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them [because of their sins].
———-KAA 30 Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the Gentiles
———-KAB who have gone forth out of captivity [left Europe to USA],
———-K-BAA and have been lifted up by the power of God [Elohim]
———-K-BAB above all other nations,
———-K-BBA upon the face of the land
———-K-BBB which is choice above all other lands,
———-K–CA which is the land that the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim]
———-K–C-B hath covenanted with thy father [Lehi]
———-K–C-B that his [Lehi] seed should
———-K–CA have for the land of their inheritance;
———-K–CA wherefore, thou seest
———-K–CB that the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim]
———-K-BA will not suffer that the Gentiles
———-K-B-B will utterly destroy the mixture of thy seed,
———-K-BA which are among thy brethren.
———-KAA 31 Neither will He [YHWH] suffer
———-KA-B that the Gentiles shall
———-KAA destroy the seed of thy brethren.

———JA-B suffer that the Gentiles shall forever
———JA-B remain in that awful state of blindness [sin],
———JAA which thou beholdest they are in,
———J-BA because of the plain [Torah]
———J-B-B and most precious [Torah] parts
———J-BA of the gospel of the Lamb [Yeshua]
———J-BA which have been kept back [removed]
———J-B-B by that abominable church,
———J-BA whose formation thou hast seen.
———JAA 33 Wherefore saith the Lamb [Yeshua] of God [Elohim]:
———JA-B I [Yeshua] will be merciful unto the Gentiles,
———JA-B unto the visiting of the remnant
———JAA of the house of Israel in great judgment.
——–IAA 34 And it came to pass that
——–IAB the angel of the Lord [YHWH] spake unto me, saying:
——–I-BAA Behold, saith the Lamb [Yeshua] of God [Elohim],
——–I-BAB after I [Yeshua] have visited the remnant of the house of Israel—
——–I-BAC and this remnant of whom I [Yeshua] speak is the seed of thy father [Lehites]—
——–I-B-BA wherefore, after I [Yeshua] have visited them in judgment,
——–I-B-BB and smitten them by the hand [work] of the Gentiles,
——–I-B-BC and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly,
——–I-B-BA because of the most plain [Torah] and precious [Torah] parts
——–I-B-B-B of the gospel of the Lamb [Yeshua]
——–I-B-BA which have been kept back
——–I-BAA by that abominable church,
——–I-BA-B which is the mother of harlots,
——–I-BAA saith the Lamb [Yeshua]—
——–I-BA I [Yeshua] will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day,
——–I-B-B insomuch that I [Yeshua] will bring forth unto them,
——–I-B–C in Mine [Yeshua] own power,
——–I-B-B MUCH of My [Yeshua] gospel [through Joseph Smith],
——–I-BA which shall be plain [Torah] and precious [Torah],
——–IA saith the Lamb [Yeshua].
——-HA 35 For, behold, saith the Lamb [Yeshua]:
——-H-B I [Yeshua] will manifest Myself [Yeshua] unto thy seed,
——-H–C that they shall write many things [Book of Mormon]
——-H—D which I [Yeshua] shall minister unto them,
——-H—-E which shall be plain [Torah] and precious [Torah];
——-H—DA and after thy seed shall be destroyed,
——-H—D-B and dwindle in unbelief,
——-H—DA and also the seed of thy brethren,
——-H–C behold, these things [Book of Mormon] shall be hid up [in the earth],
——-H-B to come forth unto the Gentiles,
——-HA by the gift and power of the Lamb [Yeshua].
——GA 36 And in them [Book of Mormon] shall be written My [Yeshua] gospel,
——G-B saith the Lamb [Yeshua],
——G-B and My [Yeshua] rock [revelation]
——GA and My [Yeshua] salvation.
—–FAA 37 And blessed are they
—–FAB who shall seek to bring forth
—–FAC My [Yeshua] Zion at that day,
—–F-BA for they shall have the gift and the power
—–F-BB of the Holy Ghost [Torah];
—–F–CA and if they endure unto the end
—–F–CB they shall be lifted up at the last day [judgement day],
—–F–CA and shall be saved
—–F–CB in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb [Yeshua];
—–F-BA and whoso shall publish peace [preach Torah],
—–F-BB yea, tidings of great joy,
—–FAA how beautiful upon
—–FAB the mountains shall they be.
—-EAA 38 And it came to pass that
—-EAB I beheld the remnant of the seed of my brethren,
—-E-B and also the book [Bible]
—-E–C of the Lamb [Yeshua] of God [Elohim],
—-E-BA which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew,
—-E-BB that it came forth from the Gentiles
—-EA unto the remnant of the seed of my brethren.
—DAA 39 And after it [Bible] had come forth
—DAB unto them
—D-BA I beheld other books [Book of Mormon],
—D-B-B which came forth
—D-B-B by the power of the Lamb [Yeshua],
—D-BA from the Gentiles unto them [Lehits],
—D-BA unto the convincing of the Gentiles
—D-B-B and the remnant of the seed of my brethren,
—D-B-B and also the Jews who were scattered
—D-BA upon all the face of the earth,
—DAA that the records [Bible] of the prophets
—DAB and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb [Yeshua] are true.
–CA 40 And the angel [YHWH] spake unto me, saying:
–C-BAA These last records [Book of Mormon],
–C-BAB which thou hast seen among the Gentiles,
–C-BBA shall establish the truth of the first [Bible],
–C-BBB which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb [Yeshua],
–C–CA and shall make known
–C–CB the plain [Torah] and precious [Torah] things

–C-BB is the Son of the Eternal Father,
–C-BC and the Savior of the world;

–CAB or they cannot be saved.
-BAA 41 And they must come
-BAB according to the words [Torah]
-B-BA which shall be established
-B-BB by the mouth [Torah] of the Lamb [Yeshua];
-B–CA and the words [Torah] of the Lamb [Yeshua]
-B–CB shall be made known in the records [Book of Mormon] of thy seed,
-B–CC as well as in the records [Bible] of the twelve apostles of the Lamb [Yeshua];
-B-BA wherefore they both [Bible & Book of Mormon]
-B-BB shall be established in one;
-BAA for there is one God [Elohim]
-BAB and one Shepherd [Yeshua] over all the earth.
AAA 42 And the time cometh
AABA that He [Yeshua] shall manifest Himself [Yeshua]
AABB unto all nations,
AACA both unto the Jews
AACB and also unto the Gentiles;
A-BA and after He [Yeshua] has manifested Himself [Yeshua]
A-BB unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles,
A-BA then He [Yeshua] shall manifest Himself [Yeshua]
A-BB unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews,
AAA and the last shall be first,
AAB and the first shall be last.

1 Nephi (LDS 14:23)(RLDS 3:243-245)
AA 23 Wherefore, the things which he [John] shall write
AB are just [Torah] and true [Torah];
-B and behold they are written in the book [Bible]
–C which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew;
–C and at the time they [Bible] proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,
-B or, at the time the book [Bible] proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,
AA the things which were written
ABA were plain [Torah is Plain]
AB-B and pure [Torah],
AB-B and most precious [Torah is Precious]
ABA and easy to the understanding of all men.

1 Nephi (LDS 19:1-4)(RLDS 5:218-226)
A 1 And it came to pass that the Lord [YHWH] commanded me [Nephi],
-BA wherefore I did make [large] plates of ore
-BB that I might engraven upon them
-BC the record of my people.
-BA And upon the plates which I made
-BB I did engraven
-BC the record of my father,
-BA and also our journeyings in the wilderness,
-BB and the prophecies of my father;
-BC and also many of mine own prophecies have I engraven upon them.
–CAAA 2 And I knew not at the time when I made them [large plates] that I should be commanded of the Lord [YHWH] to make THESE [small] plates;
–CAAB wherefore, the record of my father, and the genealogy of his fathers,
–CA-BA and the more part of all our proceedings in the wilderness
–CA-BB are engraven upon THOSE first [large] plates of which I have spoken;
–CAAA wherefore, the things which transpired before I made THESE [small] plates are, of a truth,
–CAAB more particularly made mention upon the first [large] plates.
–CBAA 3 And after I had made THESE [small] plates by way of commandment,
–CBAB I, Nephi, received a commandment that the MINISTRY [TEACHINGS] and the PROPHECIES,
–CB-B the more PLAIN [TORAH] and PRECIOUS [TORAH] parts of them,
–CB–C should be written upon THESE [small] plates;
–CB-B and that the things which were written should be kept for the INSTRUCTION [LAW / TORAH] of my people,
–CBAA who should possess the land,
–CBAB and also for other wise purposes [losing of the 116 pages],
–CBAC which purposes are known unto the Lord [YHWH].
-BA 4 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did make a record upon the OTHER [large] plates,
-B-B which gives an account,
-B-B or which gives a greater account
-BA of the wars and contentions and destructions of my people.
A And this have I done, and commanded my people what they should do after I was gone;
A-B and that these plates should be handed down from one generation to another,
A-B or from one prophet to another,
A UNTIL further commandments of the Lord [YHWH]. [the commandment stated for a limited time and thus was not modified]

Jacob (LDS 1:2)(RLDS 1:2)
A 2 And he gave me, Jacob, a commandment
-BA that I should write upon these plates
-BB a few of the things which I considered
-BC to be most precious [Torah];
-BA that I should not touch,
-BB save it were lightly [little],
-BC concerning the history of this people
A which are called the people of Nephi.
