       parents being stricken in years, and having suffered much grief

       because of their children, they were brought down, yea, even upon

       their sick-beds.

      1 Nephi 18:18

       18 Because of their grief and much sorrow, and the iniquity of

       my brethren, they were brought near even to be carried out of

       this time to meet their God; yea, their grey hairs were about to

       be brought down to lie low in the dust; yea, even they were near

       to be cast with sorrow into a watery grave.

      1 Nephi 18:19

       19 And Jacob and Joseph also, being young, having need of much

       nourishment, were grieved because of the afflictions of their

       mother; and also my wife with her tears and prayers, and also my

       children, did not soften the hearts of my brethren that they

       would loose me.

      1 Nephi 18:20

       20 And there was nothing save it were the power of God, which

       threatened them with destruction, could soften their hearts;

       wherefore, when they saw that they were about to be swallowed up

       in the depths of the sea they repented of the thing which they

       had done, insomuch that they loosed me.

      1 Nephi 18:21

       21 And it came to pass after they had loosed me, behold, I took

       the compass, and it did work whither I desired it. And it came

       to pass that I prayed unto the Lord; and after I had prayed the

       winds did cease, and the storm did cease, and there was a great

       calm.

      1 Nephi 18:22

       22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that

       we sailed again towards the promised land.

      1 Nephi 18:23

       23 And it came to pass that after we had sailed for the space of

       many days we did arrive at the promised land; and we went forth

       upon the land, and did pitch our tents; and we did call it the

       promised land.

      1 Nephi 18:24

       24 And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and

       we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the

       earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it

       came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were

       blessed in abundance.

      1 Nephi 18:25

       25 And it came to pass that we did find upon the land of

       promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, that there were

       beasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and

       the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all

       manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we

       did find all manner of ore, both of gold, and of silver, and of

       copper.

      1 Nephi 19 Chapter 19

      1 Nephi 19:1

       1 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded me, wherefore I

       did make plates of ore that I might engraven upon them the record

       of my people. And upon the plates which I made I did engraven

       the record of my father, and also our journeyings in the

       wilderness, and the prophecies of my father; and also many of

       mine own prophecies have I engraven upon them.

      1 Nephi 19:2

       2 And I knew not at the time when I made them that I should be

       commanded of the Lord to make these plates; wherefore, the record

       of my father, and the genealogy of his fathers, and the more part

       of all our proceedings in the wilderness are engraven upon those

       first plates of which I have spoken; wherefore, the things which

       transpired before I made these plates are, of a truth, more

       particularly made mention upon the first plates.

      1 Nephi 19:3

       3 And after I had made these plates by way of commandment, I,

       Nephi, received a commandment that the ministry and the

       prophecies, the more plain and precious parts of them, should be

       written upon these plates; and that the things which were written

       should be kept for the instruction of my people, who should

       possess the land, and also for other wise purposes, which

       purposes are known unto the Lord.

      1 Nephi 19:4

       4 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did make a record upon the other plates,

       which gives an account, or which gives a greater account of the

       wars and contentions and destructions of my people. And this

       have I done, and commanded my people what they should do after I

       was gone; and that these plates should be handed down from one

       generation to another, or from one prophet to another, until

       further commandments of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 19:5

       5 And an account of my making these plates shall be given

       hereafter; and then, behold, I proceed according to that which I

       have spoken; and this I do that the more sacred things may be
