not be diligent in

       keeping the commandments of the Lord? Therefore, if thou wilt go

       down into the wilderness to my father thou shalt have place with

       us.

      1 Nephi 4:35

       35 And it came to pass that Zoram did take courage at the words

       which I spake. Now Zoram was the name of the servant; and he

       promised that he would go down into the wilderness unto our

       father. Yea, and he also made an oath unto us that he would

       tarry with us from that time forth.

      1 Nephi 4:36

       36 Now we were desirous that he should tarry with us for this

       cause, that the Jews might not know concerning our flight into

       the wilderness, lest they should pursue us and destroy us.

      1 Nephi 4:37

       37 And it came to pass that when Zoram had made an oath unto us,

       our fears did cease concerning him.

      1 Nephi 4:38

       38 And it came to pass that we took the plates of brass and the

       servant of Laban, and departed into the wilderness, and journeyed

       unto the tent of our father.

      1 Nephi 5 Chapter 5

      1 Nephi 5:1

       1 And it came to pass that after we had come down into the

       wilderness unto our father, behold, he was filled with joy, and

       also my mother, Sariah, was exceedingly glad, for she truly had

       mourned because of us.

      1 Nephi 5:2

       2 For she had supposed that we had perished in the wilderness;

       and she also had complained against my father, telling him that

       he was a visionary man; saying: Behold thou hast led us forth

       from the land of our inheritance, and my sons are no more, and we

       perish in the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 5:3

       3 And after this manner of language had my mother complained

       against my father.

      1 Nephi 5:4

       4 And it had come to pass that my father spake unto her, saying:

       I know that I am a visionary man; for if I had not seen the

       things of God in a vision I should not have known the goodness of

       God, but had tarried at Jerusalem, and had perished with my

       brethren.

      1 Nephi 5:5

       5 But behold, I have obtained a land of promise, in the which

       things I do rejoice; yea, and I know that the Lord will deliver

       my sons out of the hands of Laban, and bring them down again unto

       us in the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 5:6

       6 And after this manner of language did my father, Lehi, comfort

       my mother, Sariah, concerning us, while we journeyed in the

       wilderness up to the land of Jerusalem, to obtain the record of

       the Jews.

      1 Nephi 5:7

       7 And when we had returned to the tent of my father, behold

       their joy was full, and my mother was comforted.

      1 Nephi 5:8

       8 And she spake, saying: Now I know of a surety that the Lord

       hath commanded my husband to flee into the wilderness; yea, and I

       also know of a surety that the Lord hath protected my sons, and

       delivered them out of the hands of Laban, and given them power

       whereby they could accomplish the thing which the Lord hath

       commanded them. And after this manner of language did she speak.

      1 Nephi 5:9

       9 And it came to pass that they did rejoice exceedingly, and did

       offer sacrifice and burnt offerings unto the Lord; and they gave

       thanks unto the God of Israel.

      1 Nephi 5:10

       10 And after they had given thanks unto the God of Israel, my

       father, Lehi, took the records which were engraven upon the

       plates of brass, and he did search them from the beginning.

      1 Nephi 5:11

       11 And he beheld that they did contain the five books of Moses,

       which gave an account of the creation of the world, and also 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,
