Mormon 1:5–7

And I, Mormon, being a descendant of Nephi, (and my father’s name was Mormon) I remembered the things which Ammaron commanded me. And it came to pass that I, being eleven years old, was carried by my father into the land southward, [i]3533[/i] even to the land of Zarahemla. [i]3055[/i] The whole face of the land had become covered with buildings, and the people were as numerous almost, as it were the sand of the sea.
