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.

that they shall not occupy these plates with things

which are not of worth unto the children of men.

it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy;

And it came to pass that I was desirous

that Laman and Lemuel should come and partake of the fruit also;

wherefore, I cast mine eyes towards the head of the river,

that perhaps I might see them.
