СКАЧАТЬ the bands were loosed from off my hands and feet, and I stood

       before my brethren, and I spake unto them again.

      1 Nephi 7:19

       19 And it came to pass that they were angry with me again, and

       sought to lay hands upon me; but behold, one of the daughters of

       Ishmael, yea, and also her mother, and one of the sons of

       Ishmael, did plead with my brethren, insomuch that they did

       soften their hearts; and they did cease striving to take away my

       life.

      1 Nephi 7:20

       20 And it came to pass that they were sorrowful, because of

       their wickedness, insomuch that they did bow down before me, and

       did plead with me that I would forgive them of the thing that

       they had done against me.

      1 Nephi 7:21

       21 And it came to pass that I did frankly forgive them all that

       they had done, and I did exhort them that they would pray unto

       the Lord their God for forgiveness. And it came to pass that

       they did so. And after they had done praying unto the Lord we

       did again travel on our journey towards the tent of our father.

      1 Nephi 7:22

       22 And it came to pass that we did come down unto the tent of

       our father. And after I and my brethren and all the house of

       Ishmael had come down unto the tent of my father, they did give

       thanks unto the Lord their God; and they did offer sacrifice and

       burnt offerings unto him.

      1 Nephi 8 Chapter 8

      1 Nephi 8:1

       1 And it came to pass that we had gathered together all manner

       of seeds of every kind, both of grain of every kind, and also of

       the seeds of fruit of every kind.

      1 Nephi 8:2

       2 And it came to pass that while my father tarried in the

       wilderness he spake unto us, saying: Behold, I have dreamed a

       dream; or, in other words, I have seen a vision.

      1 Nephi 8:3

       3 And behold, because of the thing which I have seen, I have

       reason to rejoice in the Lord because of Nephi and also of Sam;

       for I have reason to suppose that they, and also many of their

       seed, will be saved.

      1 Nephi 8:4

       4 But behold, Laman and Lemuel, I fear exceedingly because of

       you; for behold, methought I saw in my dream, a dark and dreary

       wilderness.

      1 Nephi 8:5

       5 And it came to pass that I saw a man, and he was dressed in a

       white robe; and he came and stood before me.

      1 Nephi 8:6

       6 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, and bade me follow

       him.

      1 Nephi 8:7

       7 And it came to pass that as I followed him I beheld myself

       that I was in a dark and dreary waste.

      1 Nephi 8:8

       8 And after I had traveled for the space of many hours in

       darkness, I began to pray unto the Lord that he would have mercy

       on me, according to the multitude of his tender mercies.

      1 Nephi 8:9

       9 And it came to pass after I had prayed unto the Lord I beheld

       a large and spacious field.

      1 Nephi 8:10

       10 And it came to pass that I beheld a tree, whose fruit was

       desirable to make one happy.

      1 Nephi 8:11

       11 And it came to pass that I did go forth and partake of the

       fruit thereof; and I beheld that it was most sweet, above all

       that I ever before tasted. Yea, and I beheld that the fruit

       thereof was white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever

       seen.

      1 Nephi 8:12

       12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with

       exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my

       family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was

       desirable above all other fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:13

       13 And as I cast my eyes round about, that perhaps I might

       discover my family also, I beheld a river of water; and it ran

       along, and it was near the tree of which I was partaking the

       fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:14

       14 And I looked to behold from whence it came; and I saw the

       head thereof a little way off; and at the head thereof I beheld

       your mother Sariah, and Sam, and Nephi; and they stood as if they

       knew not whither they should go.

      1 Nephi 8:15

       15 And it came to pass that I beckoned unto them; and I also did

       say unto them with a loud voice that they should come unto me,

       and partake of the fruit, which was desirable above all other

       fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:16
