1 Nephi 17:2

And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us,

that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness,

our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong,

yea, even like unto the men;

and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.

1 Nephi 17:23

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake unto them, saying:

Do ye believe that our fathers, who were the children of Israel,

would have been led away out of the hands of the Egyptians

if they had not hearkened unto the words of the Lord?

1 Nephi 17:27

But ye know that the Egyptians were drowned in the Red Sea,

who were the armies of Pharaoh.

1 Nephi 18:20

And there was nothing save it were the power of God,

which threatened them with destruction,

could soften their hearts;

wherefore, when they saw that

they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea

they repented of the thing which they had done,

insomuch that they loosed me.
