yea, even eight years in the wilderness.



1 Nephi 17:20

And thou art like unto our father,

led away by the foolish imaginations of his heart;

yea, he hath led us out of the land of Jerusalem,

and we have wandered in the wilderness for these many years;

and our women have toiled, being big with child;

and they have borne children in the wilderness

and suffered all things, save it were death;

and it would have been better that they had died

before they came out of Jerusalem than to have suffered these afflictions.

Behold, these many years we have suffered in the wilderness,

which time we might have enjoyed our possessions

and the land of our inheritance;

yea, and we might have been happy.



1 Nephi 18:17

Now my father, Lehi, had said many things unto them,

and also unto the sons of Ishmael;

but, behold, they did breathe out much threatenings

against anyone that should speak for me;

and my parents being stricken in years,

and having suffered much grief because of their children,

they were brought down, yea, even upon their sick-beds.



1 Nephi 19:8

And behold he cometh, according to the words of the angel,

in six hundred years from the time my father left Jerusalem.
