1 Nephi 7:8

And now I, Nephi, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts,

therefore I spake unto them, saying,

yea, even unto Laman and unto Lemuel:

Behold ye are mine elder brethren,

and how is it that ye are so hard in your hearts, and so blind in your minds,

that ye have need that I, your younger brother, should speak unto you,

yea, and set an example for you?

behold, the bands were loosed from off my hands and feet,

And it came to pass that we did come down unto the tent of our father.

And after I and my brethren and all the house of Ishmael

had come down unto the tent of my father,

they did give thanks unto the Lord their God;

and they did offer sacrifice and burnt offerings unto him.
