for ye are of the house of Israel.
1 Nephi 12:10
And these twelve ministers whom thou beholdest shall judge thy seed.

their garments are made white in his blood.
1 Nephi 13:23
And he said:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew.
And I, Nephi, beheld it;
and he said unto me:
The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews,
which contains the covenants of the Lord,
which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets;
and it is a record like unto the engravings
which are upon the plates of brass,
save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord,
which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.
1 Nephi 13:32
Neither will the Lord God suffer that the Gentiles shall forever remain
in that awful state of blindness, which thou beholdest they are in,
because of the plain and most precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb
which have been kept back by that abominable church,
whose formation thou hast seen.
1 Nephi 14:23
Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true;
and behold they are written in the book
which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew;
and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,
or, at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew,
the things which were written were plain and pure, and most precious
and easy to the understanding of all men.
1 Nephi 14:26
And also others who have been,
to them hath he shown all things,
and they have written them;
and they are sealed up to come forth in their purity,
according to the truth which is in the Lamb,
in the own due time of the Lord,
unto the house of Israel.
