1 Nephi 7:1

And now I would that ye might know, that

after my father, Lehi, had made an end of prophesying concerning his seed,

it came to pass that the Lord spake unto him again, saying

that it was not meet for him, Lehi,

that he should take his family into the wilderness alone;

but that his sons should take daughters to wife,

that they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of promise.

Yea, and I beheld that the fruit thereof was white,

to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever seen.

for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit.

And as I cast my eyes round about,

that perhaps I might discover my family also,

I beheld a river of water; and it ran along,

and it was near the tree of which I was partaking the fruit.

And it was filled with people, both old and young, both male and female;

and their manner of dress was exceedingly fine;

and they were in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers

towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit.
