       him out of the land.

      1 Nephi 7:15

       15 Now behold, I say unto you that if ye will return unto

       Jerusalem ye shall also perish with them. And now, if ye have

       choice, go up to the land, and remember the words which I speak

       of the Lord constraineth me that I should speak.

      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

       burnt offerings unto him.
