And thy seed shall be numbered with his seed and thou shalt be even like unto thy brother, and thy seed like unto his seed and thou shalt be blessed in all thy days.ġ2 And it came to pass after my father, Lehi, had aspoken unto all his household, according to the feelings of his heart and the Spirit of the Lord which was in him, he waxed bold. And he prophesied concerning us, and our future generations and they are written upon the bplates of brass.ģ Wherefore, after my father had made an end of speaking concerning the prophecies of Joseph, he called the children of Laman, his sons, and his daughters, and said unto them: Behold, my sons, and my daughters, who are the sons and the daughters of my afirstborn, I would that ye should give ear unto my words.Ĥ For the Lord God hath said that: aInasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land and inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence.ĥ But behold, my sons and my daughters, I cannot go down to my grave save I should leave a ablessing upon you for behold, I know that if ye are bbrought up in the cway ye should go ye will not depart from it.Ħ Wherefore, if ye are acursed, behold, I leave my blessing upon you, that the bcursing may be taken from you and be answered upon the cheads of your parents.ħ Wherefore, because of my blessing the Lord God will anot suffer that ye shall perish wherefore, he will be bmerciful unto you and unto your seed forever.Ĩ And it came to pass that after my father had made an end of speaking to the sons and daughters of Laman, he caused the sons and daughters of Lemuel to be brought before him.ĩ And he spake unto them, saying: Behold, my sons and my daughters, who are the sons and the daughters of my second son behold I leave unto you the same blessing which I left unto the sons and daughters of Laman wherefore, thou shalt not utterly be destroyed but in the end thy seed shall be blessed.ġ0 And it came to pass that when my father had made an end of speaking unto them, behold, he spake unto the sons of aIshmael, yea, and even all his household.ġ1 And after he had made an end of speaking unto them, he spake unto Sam, saying: Blessed art thou, and thy aseed for thou shalt inherit the land like unto thy brother Nephi.

And the aprophecies which he wrote, there are not many greater. 1 And now, I, Nephi, speak concerning the prophecies of which my father hath spoken, concerning aJoseph, who was carried into Egypt.Ģ For behold, he truly prophesied concerning all his seed.
