1 Nephi 6:1

and now I, Nephi, do not give the genealogy of my fathers in this part of my record;

neither at any time shall I give it after upon these plates which I am writing;

for it is given in the record which has been kept by my father;

wherefore, I do not write it in this work.

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.

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?

1 Nephi 8:29

and now I, Nephi, do not speak all the words of my father.
