1 Nephi 6:1
And now I, Nephi, do not give the genealogy of my fathers in this part of my record;

wherefore, I do not write it in this work.
1 Nephi 6:3

of all the things of my father,

for I desire the room that I may write of the things of God.

And it came to pass that when I, Nephi, had spoken these words unto my brethren,
they were angry with me.
And it came to pass that they did lay their hands upon me,
for behold, they were exceedingly wroth,
and they did bind me with cords,
for they sought to take away my life,
that they might leave me in the wilderness to be devoured by wild beasts.
1 Nephi 7:19
And it came to pass that they were angry with me again,
and sought to lay hands upon me;

yea, and also her mother, and one of the sons of Ishmael,
did plead with my brethren,
insomuch that they did soften their hearts;
and they did cease striving to take away my life.

And now, as I have spoken concerning these plates,
behold they are not the plates
upon which I make a full account of the history of my people;
for the plates upon which I make a full account of my people
I have given the name of Nephi;
wherefore, they are called the plates of Nephi, after mine own name;
and these plates also are called the plates of Nephi.

upon the other plates should be engraven
an account of the reign of the kings, and the wars and contentions of my people;
wherefore these plates are for the more part of the ministry;
and the other plates are for the more part of the reign of the kings
and the wars and contentions of my people.
