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 3:7

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.

to deliver my people, O house of Israel.

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 3:12

Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write;

and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write;

and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins,

and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah,

shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines

and laying down of contentions,

and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins,

and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days,

and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.

2 Nephi 3:14

Behold, that seer will the Lord bless;

of the fruit of my loins, shall be fulfilled.

Behold, I am sure of the fulfilling of this promise;

2 Nephi 3:20

And they shall cry from the dust;

yea, even repentance unto their brethren,

even after many generations have gone by them.

And there shall rise up one mighty among them,

who shall do much good, both in word and in deed,

being an instrument in the hands of God,

with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders,

unto the bringing to pass much restoration

unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren.

And now, blessed art thou, Joseph.

Behold, thou art little;

wherefore hearken unto the words of thy brother, Nephi,

and it shall be done unto thee

even according to the words which I have spoken.

Remember the words of thy dying father.

Amen.
