And now it came to pass

in bringing them out of the land of Jerusalem.

2 Nephi 1:9

Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise, that

inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the land of Jerusalem

shall keep his commandments,

they shall prosper upon the face of this land;

and they shall be kept from all other nations,

that they may possess this land unto themselves.

And if it so be that they shall keep his commandments

they shall be blessed upon the face of this land,

nor to take away the land of their inheritance;

and they shall dwell safely forever.

2 Nephi 1:10

that they shall dwindle in unbelief,

after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord —

having a knowledge of the creation of the earth, and all men,

knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord

from the creation of the world;

having power given them to do all things by faith;

having all the commandments from the beginning,

and having been brought by his infinite goodness

into this precious land of promise —

behold, I say, if the day shall come

that they will reject the Holy One of Israel,

the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God,

behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them.
