СКАЧАТЬ me, saying: Arise, and get thee into the mountain. And

       it came to pass that I arose and went up into the mountain, and

       cried unto the Lord.

      1 Nephi 17:8

       8 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying: Thou

       shalt construct a ship, after the manner which I shall show thee,

       that I may carry thy people across these waters.

      1 Nephi 17:9

       9 And I said: Lord, whither shall I go that I may find ore to

       molten, that I may make tools to construct the ship after the

       manner which thou hast shown unto me?

      1 Nephi 17:10

       10 And it came to pass that the Lord told me whither I should go

       to find ore, that I might make tools.

      1 Nephi 17:11

       11 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did make a bellows

       wherewith to blow the fire, of the skins of beasts; and after I

       had made a bellows, that I might have wherewith to blow the fire,

       I did smite two stones together that I might make fire.

      1 Nephi 17:12

       12 For the Lord had not hitherto suffered that we should make

       much fire, as we journeyed in the wilderness; for he said: I will

       make thy food become sweet, that ye cook it not;

      1 Nephi 17:13

       13 And I will also be your light in the wilderness; and I will

       prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my

       commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my

       commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye

       shall know that it is by me that ye are led.

      1 Nephi 17:14

       14 Yea, and the Lord said also that: After ye have arrived in

       the promised land, ye shall know that I, the Lord, am God; and

       that I, the Lord, did deliver you from destruction; yea, that I

       did bring you out of the land of Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 17:15

       15 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did strive to keep the commandments of

       the Lord, and I did exhort my brethren to faithfulness and

       diligence.

      1 Nephi 17:16

       16 And it came to pass that I did make tools of the ore which I

       did molten out of the rock.

      1 Nephi 17:17

       17 And when my brethren saw that I was about to build a ship,

       they began to murmur against me, saying: Our brother is a fool,

       for he thinketh that he can build a ship; yea, and he also

       thinketh that he can cross these great waters.

      1 Nephi 17:18

       18 And thus my brethren did complain against me, and were

       desirous that they might not labor, for they did not believe that

       I could build a ship; neither would they believe that I was

       instructed of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 17:19

       19 And now it came to pass that I, Nephi, was exceedingly

       sorrowful because of the hardness of their hearts; and now when

       they saw that I began to be sorrowful they were glad in their

       hearts, insomuch that they did rejoice over me, saying: We knew

       that ye could not construct a ship, for we knew that ye were

       lacking in judgment; wherefore, thou canst not accomplish so

       great a work.

      1 Nephi 17:20

       20 And thou art like unto our father, led away by the foolish

       imaginations of his heart; yea, he hath led us out of the land of

       Jerusalem, and we have wandered in the wilderness for these many

       years; and our women have toiled, being big with child; and they

       have borne children in the wilderness and suffered all things,

       save it were death; and it would have been better that they had

       died before they came out of Jerusalem than to have suffered

       these afflictions.

      1 Nephi 17:21

       21 Behold, these many years we have suffered in the wilderness,

       which time we might have enjoyed our possessions and the land of

       our inheritance; yea, and we might have been happy.

      1 Nephi 17:22

       22 And we know that the people who were in the land of Jerusalem

       were a righteous people; for they kept the statutes and judgments

       of the Lord, and all his commandments, according to the law of

       Moses; wherefore, we know that they are a righteous people; and

       our father hath judged them, and hath led us away because we

       would hearken unto his words; yea, and our brother is like unto

       him. And after this manner of language did my brethren murmur

       and complain against us.

      1 Nephi 17:23

       23 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake unto them, saying:

       Do ye believe that our fathers, who were the children of Israel,

       would have been led away out of the hands of the Egyptians if

       they had not hearkened unto the words of the Lord?

      1 Nephi 17:24
