1 Nephi 2:4

And it came to pass that he departed into the wilderness.

And he left his house, and the land of his inheritance,

and took nothing with him, save it were his family, and provisions, and tents,

and departed into the wilderness.



1 Nephi 2:11

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.

Behold thou hast led us forth from the land of our inheritance,

and my sons are no more, and we perish in the wilderness.
