1 Nephi 16:14

And it came to pass that we did take our bows and our arrows,

and go forth into the wilderness to slay food for our families;

and after we had slain food for our families

we did return again to our families in the wilderness, to the place of Shazer.

And we did go forth again in the wilderness,

following the same direction,

keeping in the most fertile parts of the wilderness,

which were in the borders near the Red Sea.

1 Nephi 16:18

And it came to pass that as I, Nephi, went forth to slay food,

behold, I did break my bow, which was made of fine steel;

and after I did break my bow,

behold, my brethren were angry with me because of the loss of my bow,

for we did obtain no food.
