       many things which he prophesied and spake unto his children, of

       which I shall not make a full account.

      1 Nephi 1:17

       17 But I shall make an account of my proceedings in my days.

       Behold, I make an abridgment of the record of my father, upon

       plates which I have made with mine own hands; wherefore, after I

       have abridged the record of my father then will I make an account

       of mine own life.

      1 Nephi 1:18

       18 Therefore, I would that ye should know, that after the Lord

       had shown so many marvelous things unto my father, Lehi, yea,

       concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, behold he went forth

       among the people, and began to prophesy and to declare unto them

       concerning the things which he had both seen and heard.

      1 Nephi 1:19

       19 And it came to pass that the Jews did mock him because of the

       things which he testified of them; for he truly testified of

       their wickedness and their abominations; and he testified that

       the things which he saw and heard, and also the things which he

       read in the book, manifested plainly of the coming of the

       Messiah, and also the redemption of the world.

      1 Nephi 1:20

       20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with

       him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had cast

       out, and stoned, and slain; and they also sought his life, that

       they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto

       you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom

       he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even

       unto the power of deliverance.

      1 Nephi 2 Chapter 2

      1 Nephi 2:1

       1 For behold, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto my

       father, yea, even in a dream, and said unto him: Blessed art thou

       Lehi, because of the things which thou hast done; and because

       thou hast been faithful and declared unto this people the things

       which I commanded thee, behold, they seek to take away thy life.

      1 Nephi 2:2

       2 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded my father, even in

       a dream, that he should take his family and depart into the

       wilderness.

      1 Nephi 2:3

       3 And it came to pass that he was obedient unto the word of the

       Lord, wherefore he did as the Lord commanded him.

      1 Nephi 2:4

       4 And it came to pass that he departed into the wilderness. And

       he left his house, and the land of his inheritance, and his gold,

       and his silver, and his precious things, and took nothing with

       him, save it were his family, and provisions, and tents, and

       departed into the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 2:5

       5 And he came down by the borders near the shore of the Red Sea;

       and he traveled in the wilderness in the borders which are nearer

       the Red Sea; and he did travel in the wilderness with his family,

       which consisted of my mother, Sariah, and my elder brothers, who

       were Laman, Lemuel, and Sam.

      1 Nephi 2:6

       6 And it came to pass that when he had traveled three days in

       the wilderness, he pitched his tent in a valley by the side of a

       river of water.

      1 Nephi 2:7

       7 And it came to pass that he built an altar of stones, and made

       an offering unto the Lord, and gave thanks unto the Lord our God.

      1 Nephi 2:8

       8 And it came to pass that he called the name of the river,

       Laman, and it emptied into the Red Sea; and the valley was in the

       borders near the mouth thereof.

      1 Nephi 2:9

       9 And when my father saw that the waters of the river emptied

       into the fountain of the Red Sea, he spake unto Laman, saying: O

       that thou mightest be like unto this river, continually running

       into the fountain of all righteousness!

      1 Nephi 2:10

       10 And he also spake unto Lemuel: O that thou mightest be like

       unto this valley, firm and steadfast, and immovable in keeping

       the commandments of the Lord!

      1 Nephi 2:11

       11 Now this he spake because of the stiffneckedness of Laman and

       Lemuel; for behold they did murmur in many things against their

       father, because he was a visionary man, and had led them out of

       the land of Jerusalem, to leave the land of their inheritance,

       and their gold, and their silver, and their precious things, to

       perish in the wilderness. And this they said he had done because

       of the foolish imaginations of his heart.

      1 Nephi 2:12
