Book of Ether Chapter One. Book of Mormon 1830 First Edition

Moroni shares the account from the 24 plates of the land destroyed in the north. It is a record of a people who went out from the tower. A genealogy is given of the descendants. A man named the brother or Jared had great faith and saw the finger of the Lord, and saw the Lord in person. He had built barges to cross the great waters and had asked for light in the barges and had smelted glass like stones from a mountain and asked the Lord to touch them and fill them with light.
