Consider this context of the word. But by the same token, because all men sin and come short of the glory of God (see Romans 3:23), justice would require that all of us be banned from the presence of God forever because no unclean thing can dwell in his presence (see Moses 6:57).

He saw his earthly ministry and its culmination in the death of the Savior (see 1 Nephi 11:26-32). Put another way, Why was Sam's portion of inheritance linked with that of Nephi? There, "a father was free to choose a younger son as his successor, if he found the eldest unworthy of the office" (Falk 165). These steps diminished the uniqueness and importance of Laman as the eldest son. Nephi asks himself why he should be depressed or feel such sorrow when "the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy" (2 Nephi 4:26; cf. 2 Nephi 31: 3: “For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men. ." .

He prays for help against the "enemy of [his] soul," who tempts him and destroys his peace, the "evil one" who seeks a place in his heart (2 Nephi 4:27-28), referring to this "enemy" three times. Zenos states that he had been "cast out" and "despised" by his enemies, and that upon hearing his cries the Lord was angry with them and did "visit them in [his] anger with speedy destruction" (Alma 33:10). Perhaps his statement, “God sendeth more witnesses” (2 Nephi 11:3), refers to Lehi’s witness as well as to those of others in holy writ. This power "did not pass automatically, but had to be conferred by the father in a special blessing" (Falk 165). It may well be that the ancient Joseph knew more of our day than we do. 2 Nephi 6:3, 4 – LeGrand Baker – Jacob's explanation of Isaiah Jacob's explanation of Isaiah is so clearly written that there seems to be no reason for one to try to re-explain Jacob's explanation. 80, 88-89] [See the commentary on 1 Nephi 11:16].

As an illustration, Joseph Smith, in blessing Oliver Cowdery, said that Oliver would be blessed "according to the blessings of the prophecy of Joseph in ancient days, which he said should come upon the seer of the last days and the scribe that should sit with him, and that should be ordained with him, by the hands of the angel in the bush, unto the lesser priesthood, and after [he should] receive the holy priesthood under the hands of those who had been held in reserve for a long season, even those who received it under the hands of the Messiah while he should dwell in the flesh upon the earth, and should receive the blessings with him, even the seer of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saith he, even Joseph of old." And he obtained a bpromise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a crighteous dbranch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made emanifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of fdarkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom. Joseph Smith said that he received some papyri scrolls that contained the record of Abraham and Joseph at the same time he obtained the Egyptian mummies from Michael Chandler. Zenos also seeks help in dealing with "[his] enemies." Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. From the text restored by Joseph Smith to the book of Genesis we learn that Joseph enjoyed the personal presence of the Lord Jehovah, who covenanted with him relative to his posterity by way of an immutable oath (see JST, Genesis 50:24,34,36). 26-42)63 The individual lament consist of five parts, all of which are contained in Nephi's Psalm as shown below along with a biblical example from the book of Psalms: Feature                  2 Nephi            Psalms, 1.

Nephi's words have universal import, but they become even more poignant and vivid if we recognize that this psalm was written while Nephi was feeling painfully vulnerable after losing his father. Thus, John Welch has provided a plausible cultural background and answer as to why there were no "Samites."

Miner, Personal Notes]. (See the New Bible Dictionary, ed. [Steven P. Sondrup, "The Psalm of Nephi: A Lyric Reading," in, Richardson, Richardson and Bentley note that Nephi's Psalm, as recorded in 2 Nephi 4:16-35, provides an example of a Hebrew literary pattern called the, and thus provides evidence of the Hebrew roots of the Book of Mormon prophets. 21:11 (8–11); Morm. . 2 Nephi 4:11 Thy [Sam's] Seed Shall Be Numbered with His [Nephi's] Seed: Some people might wonder why, in blessing his son Sam, Lehi said that Sam's seed would be numbered with Nephi's seed (see 2 Nephi 4:11). It is also crucial to the "stick of Joseph" doctrine found in Ezekiel 37:16. ), Thus we see that Joseph of Egypt knew not only of Joseph Smith and his role as the great prophet of the Restoration but also of Oliver Cowdery's role as Joseph's scribe to bring forth the Book of Mormon, and that Oliver would be Joseph's companion when the Aaronic and the Melchizedek priesthoods were restored. Fundamental 4: “Men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil” (2 Nephi 2:5) Moroni, citing the words of his father, Mormon, said, . Nephi was caught up into an exceedingly high mountain where a grand vision was unfolded before him, and he saw not only what his father had seen but also much more. Further, we are aware that Joseph of Egypt was the author of a scriptural record which will some day be restored to those of the house of faith (see Messenger and Advocate, Winter 1835, p. 236). 77:15; 1 Ne. Concerning the "Psalm of Nephi" (2 Nephi 4:16-35), Noel Reynolds notes that Nephi apparently owes some of the structure and content to a prayer of Zenos recorded on the brass plates and used by Alma to teach the people of Antionum about true worship of the Lord (see Alma 33:4-11). The Tomb of the Patriarchs is built over the traditional burial spot of their common ancestor Father Abraham, venerated patriarch of both nations.

In any event, 2 Nephi contains more than three chapters of sacred instructions from Lehi, of which many pertain directly to the mission of the Redeemer.

The "path of the low valley" is the easiest path to take and the surest, not having to run up and down any hills or anything like that. Other Book of Mormon examples of multiple occurrences of "it came to pass" which were edited by Joseph Smith in 1837 are found in Alma 8:18-19 and Alma 14:4-5. The perfect justice of God requires that every sin and every transgression be recompensed or punished (see Alma 42:16-26). However, the translation of the book of Joseph has not yet been published.

Concerning this record, Joseph Smith has written: "The record of Abraham and Joseph, found with the mummies, is beautifully written on papyrus, with black, and a small part red, ink or paint, in perfect preservation." In 2 Nephi 7:4-9, Jacob sees a prophecy of the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. Related to that is the idea of the condescension of God's mercy in our repentance. 2 Nephi 4.

This use of ideational parallelism in Hebrew poetry was first noticed by medieval Jewish biblical scholars during the eighteenth century. 3 Wherefore, after my father had made an end of speaking concerning the prophecies of Joseph, he called the children of Laman, his sons, and his daughters, and said unto them: Behold, my sons, and my daughters, who are the sons and the daughters of my a firstborn, I would that ye should give ear unto my words.

There, "a father was free to choose a younger son as his successor, if he found the eldest unworthy of the office" (Falk 165).

We get a clear picture that Nephi's enemies included his own brothers who "did seek to take away [his] life} (2 Nephi 5:1-2), and Nephi reports that the Lord "confounded [his] enemies" (2 Nephi 4:22). The detail of the knowledge had by the ancient Joseph is remarkable. 2 Nephi 33: 4: “And I know that the Lord God will consecrate my prayers for the gain of my people. In what is often called the psalm of Nephi, he said: "O then, if I have seen so great things, if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy, why should my heart weep and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and my flesh waste away, and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?" .

When translating the Hebrew Bible, the King James translators avoided translating this Hebrew word whenever it wouldn't make sense in English, especially when too many events were "coming to pass" or when nothing had really "come to pass"--in other words, in those very places that the original text of the Book of Mormon "inappropriately" allows "and it came to pass" to occur.
