2 Nephi 5:3

Yea, they did murmur against me, saying:

Our younger brother thinks to rule over us;

and we have had much trial because of him;

wherefore, now let us slay him,

that we may not be afflicted more because of his words.

For behold, we will not have him to be our ruler;

for it belongs unto us, who are the elder brethren, to rule over this people.

2 Nephi 5:16

And I, Nephi, did build a temple;

and I did construct it after the manner of the temple of Solomon

save it were not built of so many precious things;

for they were not to be found upon the land,

wherefore, it could not be built like unto Solomon's temple.

But the manner of the construction was like unto the temple of Solomon;

and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine.

2 Nephi 5:21

And he had caused the cursing to come upon them,

yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity.

For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him,

that they had become like unto a flint;

wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome,

that they might not be enticing unto my people

the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.
