O that thou mightest be like

       unto this valley, firm and steadfast, and immovable in keeping

       the commandments of the Lord!

      1 Nephi 2:11

       11 Now this he spake because of the stiffneckedness of Laman and

       Lemuel; for behold they did murmur in many things against their

       father, because he was a visionary man, and had led them out of

       the land of Jerusalem, to leave the land of their inheritance,

       and their gold, and their silver, and their precious things, to

       perish in the wilderness. And this they said he had done because

       of the foolish imaginations of his heart.

      1 Nephi 2:12

       12 And thus Laman and Lemuel, being the eldest, did murmur

       against their father. And they did murmur because they knew not

       the dealings of that God who had created them.

       1 Nephi 2:13

       13 Neither did they believe that Jerusalem, that great city,

       could be destroyed according to the words of the prophets. And

       they were like unto the Jews who were at Jerusalem, who sought to

       take away the life of my father.

      1 Nephi 2:14

       14 And it came to pass that my father did speak unto them in the

       valley of Lemuel, with power, being filled with the Spirit, until

       their frames did shake before him. And he did confound them,

       that they durst not utter against him; wherefore, they did as he

       commanded them.

      1 Nephi 2:15

       15 And my father dwelt in a tent.

      1 Nephi 2:16

       16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, being exceedingly young,

       nevertheless being large in stature, and also having great

       desires to know of the mysteries of God, wherefore, I did cry

       unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me, and did soften my

       heart that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by

       my father; wherefore, I did not rebel against him like unto my

       brothers.

      1 Nephi 2:17

       17 And I spake unto Sam, making known unto him the things which

       the Lord had manifested unto me by his Holy Spirit. And it came

       to pass that he believed in my words.

      1 Nephi 2:18

       18 But, behold, Laman and Lemuel would not hearken unto my

       words; and being grieved because of the hardness of their hearts

       I cried unto the Lord for them.

      1 Nephi 2:19

       19 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying:

       Blessed art thou, Nephi, because of thy faith, for thou hast

       sought me diligently, with lowliness of heart.

      1 Nephi 2:20

       20 And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall

       prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise; yea, even a land

       which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above

       all other lands.

      1 Nephi 2:21

       21 And inasmuch as thy brethren shall rebel against thee, they

       shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 2:22

       22 And inasmuch as thou shalt keep my commandments, thou shalt

       be made a ruler and a teacher over thy brethren.

      1 Nephi 2:23

       23 For behold, in that day that they shall rebel against me, I

       will curse them even with a sore curse, and they shall have no

       power over thy seed except they shall rebel against me also.

      1 Nephi 2:24

       24 And if it so be that they rebel against me, they shall be a

       scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in the ways of

       remembrance.

      1 Nephi 3 Chapter 3

      1 Nephi 3:1

       1 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, returned from speaking with

       the Lord, to the tent of my father.

      1 Nephi 3:2

       2 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, saying: Behold I

       have dreamed a dream, in the which the Lord hath commanded me

       that thou and thy brethren shall return to Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 3:3

       3 For behold, Laban hath the record of the Jews and also a

       genealogy of my forefathers, and they are engraven upon plates of

       brass.

      1 Nephi 3:4

       4 Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me that thou and thy

       brothers should go unto the house of Laban, and seek the records,

       and bring them down hither into the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 3:5

       5 And now, behold thy brothers murmur, saying it is a hard thing

       which I have required of them; but behold I have not required it

       of them, but it is a commandment of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 3:6

       6 Therefore go, my son, and thou shalt be favored of the Lord,

       because thou hast not murmured.

      1 Nephi 3:7

       7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will

       go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know

       that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men,

       save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the

       thing which he commandeth them.

      1 Nephi 3:8

       8 And it came to pass that when my father had heard these words

       he was exceedingly glad, for he knew that I had been blessed of

       the Lord.

      1 Nephi 3:9

       9 And I, Nephi, and my brethren took our journey in the

       wilderness, with our tents, to go up to the land of Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 3:10

       10 And it came to pass that when we had gone up to the land of

       Jerusalem, I and my brethren did consult one with another.

      1 Nephi 3:11

       11 And we cast lots—who of us should go in unto the house of

       Laban. And it came to pass that the lot fell upon Laman; and

       Laman went in unto the house of Laban, and he talked with him as

       he sat in his house.

      1 Nephi 3:12

       12 And he desired of Laban the records which were engraven upon

       the plates of brass,
