Verse 13:
"And now he translated them by the means of those two stones which were fastened into the two rims of a bow."
According to the footnotes, these two stones are the Thummim and Urim mentioned in Exodus 28:30.
The two stones that were created at the time of Moses for the high priest of the Israelites to use in divination. The big question is, how did Nephi and his family get a hold of these stones, or how did King Mosiah get a hold of these stones, or even how did they end up in the Americas?

Verse 20:
" And now, as I said unto you, that after king Mosiah had done these things, he took the plates of brass, and all the things which he had kept, and conferred them upon Alma, who was the son of Alma; yea, all the records, and also the interpreters, and conferred them upon him, and commanded him that he should keep and preserve them, and also keep a record of the people, handing them down from one generation to another, even as they had been handed down from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem."
King Benjamin passed the plates down to King Mosiah (Mosiah 1:16) when Mosiah began to reign in his stead.
The Nephites do not fail to preserve their records, here in Mosiah 28:20, Mosiah hands the records down to Alma. After this Alma will hand them down to Helaman (Alma 37:1-2), who will hand them down to his younger brother Shiblon (Alma 63:1), who will not hand them down to his younger brother Corianton but instead pass them down to Helaman's son Helaman (Alma 63:10-13).
