Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites- Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile- Written by way of commandment, and also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation- Written and sealed up, and hid up unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed- To come forth by the gift and power of God unto the interpretation thereof- Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile- The interpretation thereof by the gift of God.

THE FIRST BOOK OF NEPHI HIS REIGN AND MINISTRY (1 Nephi)

An account of Lehi and his wife Sariah and his four sons, being called, (beginning at the eldest) Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi. The Lord warns Lehi to depart out of the land of Jerusalem, because he prophesieth unto the people concerning their iniquity and they seek to destroy his life. He taketh three days' journey into the wilderness with his family. Nephi taketh his brethren and returneth to the land of Jerusalem after the record of the Jews. The account of their sufferings. They take the daughters of Ishmael to wife. They take their families and depart into the wilderness. Their sufferings and afflictions in the wilderness. The course of their travels. They come to the large waters. Nephi's brethren rebel against him. He confoundeth them, and buildeth a ship. They call the name of the place Bountiful. They cross the large waters into the promised land, and so forth. This is according to the account of Nephi; or in other words, I, Nephi, wrote this record.

1 Nephi 1 Chapter 1

1 Nephi 1:1

1 I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was

taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen

many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having

been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a

great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God,

therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.

1 Nephi 1:2

2 Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which

consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the

Egyptians.

1 Nephi 1:3

3 And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it

with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge.

1 Nephi 1:4

4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the first year of

the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having

dwelt at Jerusalem in all his days); and in that same year there

came many prophets, prophesying unto the people that they must

repent, or the great city Jerusalem must be destroyed.

1 Nephi 1:5

5 Wherefore it came to pass that my father, Lehi, as he went

forth prayed unto the Lord, yea, even with all his heart, in

behalf of his people.

1 Nephi 1:6

6 And it came to pass as he prayed unto the Lord, there came a

pillar of fire and dwelt upon a rock before him; and he saw and

heard much; and because of the things which he saw and heard he

did quake and tremble exceedingly.

1 Nephi 1:7

7 And it came to pass that he returned to his own house at

Jerusalem; and he cast himself upon his bed, being overcome with

the Spirit and the things which he had seen.

1 Nephi 1:8

8 And being thus overcome with the Spirit, he was carried away

in a vision, even that he saw the heavens open, and he thought he

saw God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless

concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising

their God.

1 Nephi 1:9

9 And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the

midst of heaven, and he beheld that his luster was above that of

the sun at noon-day.

1 Nephi 1:10

10 And he also saw twelve others following him, and their

brightness did exceed that of the stars in the firmament.

1 Nephi 1:11

11 And they came down and went forth upon the face of the earth;

and the first came and stood before my father, and gave unto him

a book, and bade him that he should read.

1 Nephi 1:12

12 And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the

Spirit of the Lord.

1 Nephi 1:13

13 And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem, for I have seen

thine abominations! Yea, and many things did my father read

concerning Jerusalem— that it should be destroyed, and the

inhabitants thereof; many should perish by the sword, and many

should be carried away captive into Babylon.

1 Nephi 1:14

14 And it came to pass that when my father had read and seen

many great and marvelous things, he did exclaim many things unto

the Lord; such as: Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God

Almighty! Thy throne is high in the heavens, and thy power, and

goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants ...
