About the plates Joseph was further told that he would be tempted to get them for the purpose of getting rich, as the plates were of great value; but he must not yield to that spirit as they were sacred, and he must have no other purpose in view than to do the will of God and build up his kingdom; otherwise he would not get them.

At the close of the third visit it was morning, and then Joseph knew that he had been talking with the angel nearly all the night.
That morning Joseph went as usual with his father to work in the field, but he was so weak that he could do but little.

His father, seeing this, told him to go home.
On the way, as he was climbing over a fence, Joseph fell helpless to the ground.

After that the first thing he knew was that some one was calling him by name.

Looking up he again saw the angel Moroni, who once more told him all that he had related the night before.
