       Now they durst not do this lest they should wither before me, so

       powerful was the Spirit of God; and thus it had wrought upon

       them.

      1 Nephi 17:53

       53 And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me: Stretch forth

       thine hand again unto thy brethren, and they shall not wither

       before thee, but I will shock them, saith the Lord, and this will

       I do, that they may know that I am the Lord their God.

      1 Nephi 17:54

       54 And it came to pass that I stretched forth my hand unto my

       brethren, and they did not wither before me; but the Lord did

       shake them, even according to the word which he had spoken.

      1 Nephi 17:55

       55 And now, they said: We know of a surety that the Lord is with

       thee, for we know that it is the power of the Lord that has

       shaken us. And they fell down before me, and were about to

       worship me, but I would not suffer them, saying: I am thy

       brother, yea, even thy younger brother; wherefore, worship the

       Lord thy God, and honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days

       may be long in the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

      1 Nephi 18 Chapter 18

      1 Nephi 18:1

       1 And it came to pass that they did worship the Lord, and did go

       forth with me; and we did work timbers of curious workmanship.

       And the Lord did show me from time to time after what manner I

       should work the timbers of the ship.

      1 Nephi 18:2

       2 Now I, Nephi, did not work the timbers after the manner which

       was learned by men, neither did I build the ship after the manner

       of men; but I did build it after the manner which the Lord had

       shown unto me; wherefore, it was not after the manner of men.

      1 Nephi 18:3

       3 And I, Nephi, did go into the mount oft, and I did pray oft

       unto the Lord; wherefore the Lord showed unto me great things.

      1 Nephi 18:4

       4 And it came to pass that after I had finished the ship,

       according to the word of the Lord, my brethren beheld that it was

       good, and that the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine;

       wherefore, they did humble themselves again before the Lord.

      1 Nephi 18:5

       5 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came unto my

       father, that we should arise and go down into the ship.

      1 Nephi 18:6

       6 And it came to pass that on the morrow, after we had prepared

       all things, much fruits and meat from the wilderness, and honey

       in abundance, and provisions according to that which the Lord had

       commanded us, we did go down into the ship, with all our loading

       and our seeds, and whatsoever thing we had brought with us, every

       one according to his age; wherefore, we did all go down into the

       ship, with our wives and our children.

      1 Nephi 18:7

       elder was called Jacob and the younger Joseph.

      1 Nephi 18:8

       8 And it came to pass after we had all gone down into the ship,

       and had taken with us our provisions and things which had been

       commanded us, we did put forth into the sea and were driven forth

       before the wind towards the promised land.

      1 Nephi 18:9

       9 And after we had been driven forth before the wind for the

       space of many days, behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael

       and also their wives began to make themselves merry, insomuch

       that they began to dance, and to sing, and to speak with much

       rudeness, yea, even that they did forget by what power they had

       been brought thither; yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding

       rudeness.

      1 Nephi 18:10

       10 And I, Nephi, began to fear exceedingly lest the Lord should

       be angry with us, and smite us because of our iniquity, that we

       should be swallowed up in the depths of the sea; wherefore, I,

       Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness; but behold

       they were angry with me, saying: We will not that our younger

       brother shall be a ruler over us.

      1 Nephi 18:11

       11 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel did take me and

       bind me with cords, and they did treat me with much harshness;

       nevertheless, the Lord did suffer it that he might show forth his

       power, unto the fulfilling of his word which he had spoken

       concerning the wicked.

      1 Nephi 18:12

       12 And it came to pass that after they had bound me insomuch

       that I could not move, the compass, which had been prepared of

       the Lord, did cease to work.

      1 Nephi 18:13

       13 Wherefore, they knew not whither they should steer the ship,

       insomuch that there arose a great storm, yea, a great and

       terrible tempest, and we were driven back upon the waters for the

       space of three days; and they began to be frightened exceedingly

       lest they should be drowned in the sea; nevertheless they did not

       loose me.

      1 Nephi 18:14

       14 And on the fourth day, which we had been driven back, the

       tempest began to be exceedingly sore.

      1 Nephi 18:15

       15 And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in

       the depths of the sea. And after we had been driven back upon

       the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see

       that the judgments of God were upon them, and that they must

       perish save that they should repent of their iniquities;

       wherefore, they came unto me, and loosed the bands which were

       upon my wrist, and behold they had swollen exceedingly; and also

       mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness

       thereof.

      1 Nephi 18:16

       16 Nevertheless, I did look unto my God, and I did praise him

       all the day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because

       of mine afflictions.
