1 Nephi 16:19

and being much fatigued, because of their journeying,

they did suffer much for the want of food.

1 Nephi 17:5

And we did come to the land which we called Bountiful,

because of its much fruit and also wild honey;

and all these things were prepared of the Lord that we might not perish.

which, being interpreted, is many waters.

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.

1 Nephi 17:30

And notwithstanding they being led,

the Lord their God, their Redeemer, going before them,

leading them by day and giving light unto them by night,

and doing all things for them which were expedient for man to receive,

they hardened their hearts and blinded their minds,

and reviled against Moses and against the true and living God.

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 18:19

And Jacob and Joseph also, being young,

having need of much nourishment,

were grieved because of the afflictions of their mother;

and also my wife with her tears and prayers, and also my children,

did not soften the hearts of my brethren

that they would loose me.
