Reference: I Nephi 1:19, 2:1-3, 6-7, 11-14, 16, 20, 23-24

[1] [2]he testified the things which he saw and heard manifested plainly of the coming of a Messiah the redemption of the world. [3]the Lord spake unto my father, yea, even in a dream [4]he should take his family and depart into the wilderness [5]he was obedient unto the word of the Lord [6]he pitched his tent in a valley by the side of a river of water. [7] [8] [9]he built an altar of stones ... (he) made an offering unto the Lord [10](he) 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 [11]And they did murmer because they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them. 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, which were at Jerusalem, which sought to take away the life of my father. [12]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. [13] [14]having great desires to know of the mysteries of God I did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise [15] [16]in that day that they shall rebel against me, I will curse them even with a sore curse ... they shall be a scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in the ways of remembrance. [17] [18]
