2 Nephi 3:2

And may the Lord consecrate also unto thee this land,

which is a most precious land,

for thine inheritance and the inheritance of thy seed with thy brethren,

for thy security forever,

if it so be that ye shall keep the commandments of the Holy One of Israel.

2 Nephi 3:4

For behold, thou art the fruit of my loins;

and I am a descendant of Joseph who was carried captive into Egypt.

And great were the covenants of the Lord which he made unto Joseph.

2 Nephi 3:5

Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day.

And he obtained a promise of the Lord,

that out of the fruit of his loins

the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel;

not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off,

nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord

that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days,

in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light —

yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.

2 Nephi 3:6

a seer shall the Lord my God raise up,

who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins.

2 Nephi 3:7

Yea, Joseph truly said:

Thus saith the Lord unto me:

a choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins;

and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins.

And unto him will I give commandment

that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren,

which shall be of great worth unto them,

even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants

which I have made with thy fathers.

2 Nephi 3:8

And I will give unto him a commandment

that he shall do none other work,

save the work which I shall command him.

And I will make him great in mine eyes;

for he shall do my work.

2 Nephi 3:11

But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins;

and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins —

and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord,

but to the convincing them of my word,

which shall have already gone forth among them.

2 Nephi 3:17

And the Lord hath said:

I will raise up a Moses;

and I will give power unto him in a rod;

and I will give judgment unto him in writing.

Yet I will not loose his tongue, that he shall speak much,

for I will not make him mighty in speaking.

But I will write unto him my law, by the finger of mine own hand;

and I will make a spokesman for him.

2 Nephi 3:18

And the Lord said unto me also:

I will raise up unto the fruit of thy loins;

and I will make for him a spokesman.

And I, behold, I will give unto him

that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins,

unto the fruit of thy loins;

and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.
