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 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.

therefore I spake unto them, saying,

yea, even unto Laman and unto Lemuel:

Behold ye are mine elder brethren,

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

yea, and set an example for you?

O Lord, according to my faith which is in thee,

wilt thou deliver me from the hands of my brethren;
