of

       Adam and Eve, who were our first parents;

      1 Nephi 5:12

       12 And also a record of the Jews from the beginning, even down

       to the commencement of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah;

      1 Nephi 5:13

       13 And also the prophecies of the holy prophets, from the

       beginning, even down to the commencement of the reign of

       Zedekiah; and also many prophecies which have been spoken by the

       mouth of Jeremiah.

      1 Nephi 5:14

       14 And it came to pass that my father, Lehi, also found upon the

       plates of brass a genealogy of his fathers; wherefore he knew

       that he was a descendant of Joseph; yea, even that Joseph who was

       the son of Jacob, who was sold into Egypt, and who was preserved

       by the hand of the Lord, that he might preserve his father,

       Jacob, and all his household from perishing with famine.

      1 Nephi 5:15

       15 And they were also led out of captivity and out of the land

       of Egypt, by that same God who had preserved them.

      1 Nephi 5:16

       16 And thus my father, Lehi, did discover the genealogy of his

       fathers. And Laban also was a descendant of Joseph, wherefore he

       and his fathers had kept the records.

      1 Nephi 5:17

       17 And now when my father saw all these things, he was filled

       with the Spirit, and began to prophesy concerning his seed—

      1 Nephi 5:18

       18 That these plates of brass should go forth unto all nations,

       kindreds, tongues, and people who were of his seed.

      1 Nephi 5:19

       19 Wherefore, he said that these plates of brass should never

       perish; neither should they be dimmed any more by time. And he

       prophesied many things concerning his seed.

      1 Nephi 5:20

       20 And it came to pass that thus far I and my father had kept

       the commandments wherewith the Lord had commanded us.

      1 Nephi 5:21

       21 And we had obtained the records which the Lord had commanded

       us, and searched them and found that they were desirable; yea,

       even of great worth unto us, insomuch that we could preserve the

       commandments of the Lord unto our children.

      1 Nephi 5:22

       22 Wherefore, it was wisdom in the Lord that we should carry

       them with us, as we journeyed in the wilderness towards the land

       of promise.

      1 Nephi 6 Chapter 6

      1 Nephi 6:1

       1 And now I, Nephi, do not give the genealogy of my fathers in

       this part of my record; neither at any time shall I give it after

       upon these plates which I am writing; for it is given in the

       record which has been kept by my father; wherefore, I do not

       write it in this work.

      1 Nephi 6:2

       2 For it sufficeth me to say that we are descendants of Joseph.

      1 Nephi 6:3

       3 And it mattereth not to me that I am particular to give a full

       account of all the things of my father, for they cannot be

       written upon these plates, for I desire the room that I may write

       of the things of God.

      1 Nephi 6:4

       4 For the fulness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to

       come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God

       of Jacob, and be saved.

      1 Nephi 6:5

       5 Wherefore, the things which are pleasing unto the world I do

       not write, but the things which are pleasing unto God and unto

       those who are not of the world.

      1 Nephi 6:6

       6 Wherefore, I shall give commandment unto my seed, that they

       shall not occupy these plates with things which are not of worth

       unto the children of men.

      1 Nephi 7 Chapter 7

      1 Nephi 7:1

       1 And now I would that ye might know, that after my father,

       Lehi, had made an end of prophesying concerning his seed, it came

       to pass that the Lord spake unto him again, saying that it was

       not meet for him, Lehi, that he should take his family into the

       wilderness alone; but that his sons should take daughters to

       wife, that they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of

       promise.

      1 Nephi 7:2

       2 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded him that I, Nephi,

       and my brethren, should again return unto the land of Jerusalem,

       and bring down Ishmael and his family into the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 7:3

       3 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did again, with my

       brethren, go forth into the wilderness to go up to Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 7:4

       4 And it came to pass that we went up unto the house of Ishmael,

       and we did gain favor in the sight of Ishmael, insomuch that we

       did speak unto him the words of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 7:5

       5 And it came to pass that the Lord did soften the heart of

       Ishmael, and also his household, insomuch that they took their

       journey with us down into the wilderness to the tent of our

       father.

      1 Nephi 7:6

       6 And it came to pass that as we journeyed in the wilderness,

       behold Laman and Lemuel, and two of the daughters of Ishmael, and

       the two sons of Ishmael and their families, did rebel against us;

       yea, against me, Nephi, and Sam, and their father, Ishmael, and

       his wife, and his three other daughters.

      1 Nephi 7:7

       7 And it came to pass in the which rebellion, they were desirous

       to return unto the land of Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 7:8

       8 And now I, Nephi, being grieved for the hardness of their

       hearts, therefore I spake unto them, saying, yea, even unto Laman

       and unto Lemuel: Behold ye are mine elder brethren, and how is it

       that ye are so hard in your hearts, and so blind in your minds,

       that ye have need that I, your younger brother, should speak unto

       you,
