1 Nephi 22:6, 8, 9



1 Nephi 22:6

Nevertheless, after they shall be nursed by the Gentiles,

and the Lord has lifted up his hand upon the Gentiles

and set them up for a standard,

and their children have been carried in their arms,

and their daughters have been carried upon their shoulders,

behold these things of which are spoken are temporal;

for thus are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers;

and it meaneth us in the days to come,

and also all our brethren who are of the house of Israel.



1 Nephi 22:8

And after our seed is scattered

the Lord God will proceed to do a marvelous work among the Gentiles,

which shall be of great worth unto our seed;

wherefore, it is likened unto their being nourished by the Gentiles

and being carried in their arms and upon their shoulders.



1 Nephi 22:9

And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles;

and not only unto the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel,

unto the making known of the covenants of the Father of heaven

unto Abraham, saying:

In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
