[2]a genealogy of my forefathers,
[3]it is a commandment of the Lord.
[4]I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, he
shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the
thing which he commandeth them.

[8]it is wisdom in God that we should obtain these records, ... spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets, ... since the world began,
[9]
[10]we went down to the land of our inheritance, and we did gather together our gold, and our silver, and our precious things.
[11]when Laban saw our property, and that it was exceedingly
great, he did lust after it, insomuch that he thrust us out, and
sent his servants to slay us, that he might obtain our property.

[14]
[15]behold, an angel of the Lord came and stood before them, and
he spake unto them,
[16]
[17]
[18]after the angel had spoken unto us, he departed.
