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.

1 Nephi 5:2

For she had supposed that we had perished in the wilderness;

and she also had complained against my father,

telling him that he was a visionary man; saying:

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

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

1 Nephi 5:14

And it came to pass that my father, Lehi, also found

upon the plates of brass a genealogy of his fathers;

wherefore he knew that he was a descendant of Joseph;

yea, even that Joseph who was the son of Jacob,

who was sold into Egypt, and who was preserved by the hand of the Lord,

that he might preserve his father, Jacob, and all his household

from perishing with famine.

1 Nephi 5:16

And thus my father, Lehi, did discover the genealogy of his fathers.

And Laban also was a descendant of Joseph,

wherefore he and his fathers had kept the records.
