Mormon 5 – 6
I don’t see why the Lord would tell Mormon to begin leading the people again after He had commanded him to stand as an idle witness to their destruction. I also don’t see how Mormon would have “repent{ed} of the oath which {he} had made” unless he had the approval of the Lord to do so. I would not be surprised to learn that Mormon went to the Lord in prayer and asked to again lead the people despite their lack of hope and that the Lord discouraged his choice but allowed him to return to leadership. I also expect that the Lord warned Mormon that if he again led the people he would die with them.
