СКАЧАТЬ 13 And it came to pass that we traveled for the space of four

       days, nearly a south-southeast direction, and we did pitch our

       tents again; and we did call the name of the place Shazer.

      1 Nephi 16:14

       14 And it came to pass that we did take our bows and our arrows,

       and go forth into the wilderness to slay food for our families;

       and after we had slain food for our families we did return again

       to our families in the wilderness, to the place of Shazer. And

       we did go forth again in the wilderness, following the same

       direction, keeping in the most fertile parts of the wilderness,

       which were in the borders near the Red Sea.

      1 Nephi 16:15

       15 And it came to pass that we did travel for the space of many

       pitch our tents for the space of a time, that we might again rest

       ourselves and obtain food for our families.

      1 Nephi 16:18

       18 And it came to pass that as I, Nephi, went forth to slay

       food, behold, I did break my bow, which was made of fine steel;

       and after I did break my bow, behold, my brethren were angry with

       me because of the loss of my bow, for we did obtain no food.

      1 Nephi 16:19

       19 And it came to pass that we did return without food to our

       families, and being much fatigued, because of their journeying,

       they did suffer much for the want of food.

       20 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel and the sons of

       Ishmael did begin to murmur exceedingly, because of their

       sufferings and afflictions in the wilderness; and also my father

       began to murmur against the Lord his God; yea, and they were all

       exceedingly sorrowful, even that they did murmur against the

       Lord.

      1 Nephi 16:21

       21 Now it came to pass that I, Nephi, having been afflicted with

       my brethren because of the loss of my bow, and their bows having

       lost their springs, it began to be exceedingly difficult, yea,

       insomuch that we could obtain no food.

      1 Nephi 16:22

       22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did speak much unto my

       brethren, because they had hardened their hearts again, even unto

       complaining against the Lord their God.

      1 Nephi 16:23

       23 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did make out of wood a

       bow, and out of a straight stick, an arrow; wherefore, I did arm

       myself with a bow and an arrow, with a sling and with stones.

       And I said unto my father: Whither shall I go to obtain food?

      1 Nephi 16:24

       24 And it came to pass that he did inquire of the Lord, for they

       had humbled themselves because of my words; for I did say many

       things unto them in the energy of my soul.

      1 Nephi 16:25

       25 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came unto my

       father; and he was truly chastened because of his murmuring

       against the Lord, insomuch that he was brought down into the

       depths of sorrow.

      1 Nephi 16:26

       26 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord said unto him:

       Look upon the ball, and behold the things which are written.

      1 Nephi 16:27

       27 And it came to pass that when my father beheld the things

       which were written upon the ball, he did fear and tremble

       exceedingly, and also my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and our

       wives.

      1 Nephi 16:28

       28 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the pointers which

       were in the ball, that they did work according to the faith and

       diligence and heed which we did give unto them.

      1 Nephi 16:29

       29 And there was also written upon them a new writing, which was

       plain to be read, which did give us understanding concerning the

       ways of the Lord; and it was written and changed from time to

       time, according to the faith and diligence which we gave unto it.

      And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things.
