  Excerpts from -- Losing a Lost Tribe: Native Americans, DNA and the Mormon Church
Joseph Smith, the prophet who brought forth the Book of Mormon, claimed the book was a direct translation from the record he said was inscribed on gold plates and buried in a hill near his home in the village of Manchester, New York.
The book is primarily devoted to a small group of Jews who, we are told, sailed from Jerusalem in 600 BC.
The Book of Mormon was crucial to the establishment of the Mormon church.

  Book of Mosiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Mosiah is one of the books which make up the Book of Mormon.
The Book of Mosiah opens with the Nephites (the descendants of Nephite people and the people of Zarahemla who merged together and are now called the Nephites) living in peace under the rule of righteous King Benjamin in the land of Zarahemla.
A portion of the record was inserted in the Book of Mormon as the Book of Ether.

Mosiah 3:15 15 And many signs, and wonders, and types, and shadows showed he unto them, concerning his coming; and also holy prophets spake unto them concerning his coming; and yet they hardened their hearts, and understood not that the law of Moses availeth nothing except it were through the atonement of his blood.

 [No title]
The book of Mosiah is religiously rich, symbolically meaningful, chronologically complex, and politically significant.
The book of Mosiah establishes several pairs of comparisons in a manner similar to a literary technique often used in the Bible: Alma1 and Amulon are examples of good and bad priests; Benjamin and Noah are contrasting exemplars of noble and corrupt kingship.
The extreme contrast between these kings is cited by Mosiah at the end of his reign to explain the wisdom in shifting the government of the Nephites from kingship to a reign of judges (Mosiah 29).

 The Book of Mosiah
Mosiah 7:8 And it came to pass when they had been in prison two days they were again brought before the king, and their bands were loosed; and they stood before the king, and were permitted, or rather commanded, that they should answer the questions which he should ask them.
Mosiah 9:9 And we began to till the ground, yea, even with all manner of seeds, with seeds of corn, and of wheat, and of barley, and with neas, and with sheum, and with seeds of all manner of fruits; and we did begin to multiply and prosper in the land.

 Alma 1
The shift from the book of Mosiah to the Book of Alma appears to hinge on the shift in the nature of the government.
Thus Mosiah is properly the giver of the law because it was he who elevated the existing laws to their new cultural prominence.
Mosiah II and Alma the Elder deal with religious contention that is termed “persecutions” and even the children of these stalwart men are part of the contentions and persecutions.

 Book of Mormon Nuggets: Mosiah and Ether
For example, Mosiah notes that his eldest son had declined the kingdom, and that there was the risk of contention in selecting a new king: "And now, if there should be another appointed in his stead, behold I fear that there would rise contentions among you.
Mosiah also warned that the wickedness of King Noah brought bondage to the people (Mosiah 29:18-19), a common theme in the Book of Ether (see Ether 6:22-23, as well as the examples of kings conquered by family members to serve in captivity in Ether 7:5,7,17; 8:3-4; 10:14-15,30-31; 11:9, 18-19, 23; 13:23).
Since the Book of Ether was not dictated until long after the Book of Mosiah, the high level of agreement between the two books argues against the idea that Joseph Smith just made it all up.

 Mosiah 1
Book introductions are easily noted in the 1830 edition, because most chapters are preceded by an italicized synopsis of the chapter to come.
Mosiah V (current chapter 7) also begins with a statement of peace, but that beginning does not have the reference to anything as obviously previous as the contentions, so that chapter break does not necessarily help us.
Therefore, the change of the name to Mosiah from whatever it was before (we know that it began with the book of Lehi, but do not know if there was anything between the book of Lehi and the book of Mosiah) we may suggest a dramatic change, such as a new dynasty.
