       Blessed art thou, Nephi, because of thy faith, for thou hast

       sought me diligently, with lowliness of heart.

       20 And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall

       all other lands.

       have dreamed a dream, in the which the Lord hath commanded me

       that thou and thy brethren shall return to Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 3:3

       3 For behold, Laban hath the record of the Jews and also a

       genealogy of my forefathers, and they are engraven upon plates of

      1 Nephi 3:4

       4 Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me that thou and thy

       brothers should go unto the house of Laban, and seek the records,

       and bring them down hither into the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 3:5

       5 And now, behold thy brothers murmur, saying it is a hard thing

       which I have required of them; but behold I have not required it

       of them, but it is a commandment of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 3:6

       because thou hast not murmured.

      1 Nephi 3:7

       7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will

       go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know

       save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the

       thing which he commandeth them.

       Jerusalem, I and my brethren did consult one with another.

      1 Nephi 3:11

       11 And we cast lots—who of us should go in unto the house of

       Laban. And it came to pass that the lot fell upon Laman; and

       Laman went in unto the house of Laban, and he talked with him as

       he sat in his house.

      1 Nephi 3:12

       12 And he desired of Laban the records which were engraven upon

       the plates of brass, which contained the genealogy of my father.

      1 Nephi 3:13

       13 And behold, it came to pass that Laban was angry, and thrust

       him out from his presence; and he would not that he should have

       the records. Wherefore, he said unto him: Behold thou art a

       robber, and I will slay thee.

      1 Nephi 3:14

       14 But Laman fled out of his presence, and told the things which

       Laban had done, unto us. And we began to be exceedingly

       sorrowful, and my brethren were about to return unto my father in

       the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 3:15

       15 But behold I said unto them that: As the Lord liveth, and as

       we live, we will not go down unto our father in the wilderness

       until we have accomplished the thing which the Lord hath

       commanded us.
