For behold, it came to pass that
the Lord spake unto my father, yea,
even in a dream, and said unto him:
Blessed art thou Lehi, because of
the things which thou hast done;
and because thou hast been faithful
and declared unto this people the
things which I commanded thee,
behold, they seek to “take away
thy “life.

And he came down by the bor-
ders near the shore of the “Red Sea;
and he traveled in the wilderness
in the borders which are nearer the
Red Sea; and he did travel in the
wilderness with his family, which
consisted of my mother, Sariah,
and my elder brothers, who were
Laman, Lemuel, and Sam.

Lehi’s sons return to Jerusalem to ob-
tain the plates of brass—Laban refuses
to give the plates up—Nephi exhorts
and encourages his brethren—Laban
steals their property and attempts to
slay them—Laman and Lemuel smite
Nephi and Sam and are reproved by
an angel. About 600-592 B.c.

And it came to pass that we
went in unto Laban, and desired
him that he would give unto us the
records which were engraven upon
the “plates of brass, for which we
would give unto him our gold, and our
silver, and all our precious things.

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.
