2 Nephi 3:3

And now, Joseph, my last-born,

whom I have brought out of the wilderness of mine afflictions,

may the Lord bless thee forever,

for thy seed shall not utterly be destroyed.

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 3:11

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 3:23

Wherefore, because of this covenant thou art blessed;

for thy seed shall not be destroyed,

for they shall hearken unto the words of the book.
