From: "Perry L. Porter" <plporter@xmission.com>
Subject: ---> The Book of the Law of the Lord.
Date: 13 May 1998 21:31:26 -0600
The following page has many parallels to the book of much like F.A.R.M.S.
and others find in Mexico and the Yucatan. I provide it here and allow
you to ponder on the parallels you may or may not see. I post the page
with permission of Rick Hurd. I include links to his page and his e-mail
address if you wish to learn more from a more informed source on this
subject.
To the question as to if I could forward the one web page below, Rick
replied.
---------------
Sure, help your self.
Unlike the plates the Book of Mormon were translated from where only a few
had the chance to view them, thousands seen the Voree Plates. I recently
had a man who understands the Hebrew language examine the facsimile of the
plates and I am including his translation with this letter.
Sincerely, Rick Hurd.
First of all I note that the opening portion of the ... translation is a
complex form of Hebrew poetry called CHIASMUS (there are also within this
Chiasmus several parallelisms). This Chiastic structure is four levels
deep:
A. My people ARE NO MORE.
B. THE MIGHTY ARE FALLEN,
and the young slain in battle.
C. Their BONES bleached on the plain
BY NOONDAY SHADOW
D. The houses are leveled to the dust,
and IN THE MOAT are the walls.
They shall be inhabited.
D. I have IN THE BURIAL
served them,
C. and their BONES IN THE DEATH-SHADE,
towards the sun's rising, are covered.
B. They sleep with THE MIGHTY dead,
and they rest with their fathers.
They HAVE FALLEN in transgression
A. AND ARE NOT, but the elect and faithful there shall dwell.
This is a very good example of Chiasmus, as good as any I have seen.
Also, regarding the "signature" which in yours reads "Rajah Manchou of
Vorito" the copy I have had for some time printed by THE TRUE CHURCH OF
JESUS CHRIST RESTORED has "Rajah Manchore of Vorito." This phase seems
also to be Hebrew:
Rajah - A perfect Hebrew name "Yah[weh] sees" or "Yah[weh] is seer" or "Ra
is Yah[weh]"
Manchore - Man (Hebrew prefix meaning "from") Chore - To be white, a
nobleman (Strong's 2353, 2357, 2361, 2715)
Vorito - Although in Aramaic V'ORITA means "and the Torah" I favor BRIT
with the terminal -A found often in Aramaic. Initial BET in Hebrew is
always hard B but in the other parts of a word is usually pronounced "V"
so that a shift from "B" to "V" is likely and an initial "V" could only
indicate a BET. This would make this word "covenant"
The above would mean that "Rajah Manchore of Vorito" means:
Rayah from the whitemen/noblemen of the Covenant.
Let me know your thoughts on the above.
I will analyze the script and get back with you. =20

Description of one side of one of the Voree Plates.
1st. An eye. The symbol of God, who is all-seeing: consequently it is
called THE ALL-SEEING EYE, and has been used as symbolical of the DEITY in
all countries, and in all ages of the world.
2nd. The figure of a man down to the waist having a crown resembling a
cap, and composed of radiating lines, on his head; and a scepter in his
hand. These are symbols of authority, and shew him a ruler. As he has the
sun, moon and stars (all the natural lights), below him, and only the
ALL-SEEING EYE above him, he is prophet, seer, revelator, translator, and
First President of the church-governing not by natural light, or mere
human wisdom, but by Revelation or the word of God and derives his
authority solely from God, and not in any sense from the actions of men.
3d. The sun on the right and the moon on the left. These represent the two
Vice PRESIDENTS, or counsellors in the First Presidency; the two largest
natural lights being used as symbols, because they are to assist the First
President in wisdom, or natural light merely, and not by revelation.
4th. A cross pillar above and resting upon the center large star, and
under the human figure, two pillars above and resting upon the two upper
large stars, and below and between the sun and the moon. These represent
COADJUTORS, assistants or helps of whom there have been several since the
beginning of the church, appointed by revelation.
5th. Twelve stars, six around the sun and six around the moon. These
represent the High Council of the Church, The division into classes of six
each agrees with established usages in the church, one-half to stand up
for the accuser, and the other for the accused. This is not the high
council of the stake.
6th. Twelve large stars. Ten of these in two rows at the bottom of the
plate, and the other two over them, nearly between the sun and moon. They
represent the TWELVE APOSTLES. These stars are larger than those which
represent the High Council of the church, because the apostles have a more
important ministry but are placed below them because they are subject to
their discipline, and below the symbols of the First Presidency because
they are subject to its directions.
7th. Seventy small stars immediately within the points of the twelve large
ones, being six to each except the center one which has only four. They
represent the SEVENTIES, who are subject to the direction of the Twelve
Apostles.
8th. A straight line dropping down before the scepter. "Therefore thus
saith the Lord God, behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried
stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall
not make haste, Judgment also will I lay to the line and righteousness to
the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the
waters shall overflow the hiding place."
"Thus he showed me; and behold the Lord stood upon a wall made by a
plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. And the Lord said unto me, Amos,
what seest thou? And I said, a plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold I
will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again
pass by them any more."
These symbols were all prophetic of the order that will exist in the
fullness of times. Thus God in his goodness to those who lived in days
past has shown them not only the rest which he had in reservation for
them, but the perfectness of the means by which he will accomplish it.
Probably now we understand it in part, but in times to come we shall "know
as we are known."
BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD Arguably the most important book ever written
in the English language.
Parts translated from metal plates found buried under an oak tree.
