"Write a few words"

1. Jacob 4: 2
   2 But whatsoever things we write upon anything save it be upon plates must perish and vanish away; but we can write a few words upon plates, which will give our children, and also our beloved brethren, a small degree of knowledge concerning us, or concerning their fathers—
2. Jarom 1: 1
   1 Now behold, I, Jarom, write a few words according to the commandment of my father, Enos, that our genealogy may be kept.
