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 13:26
And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,
from the Jews unto the Gentiles,
thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church,
which is most abominable above all other churches;
for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb
many parts which are plain and most precious;
and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away.
1 Nephi 14:5
And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying:
Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be well with them;
and thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord
unto the house of Israel;
and thou also hast heard that whoso repenteth not must perish.
1 Nephi 14:8
And it came to pass that
when the angel had spoken these words,
he said unto me: Rememberest thou the covenants of the Father unto the house of Israel?
I said unto him, Yea.
