“He Should Be a Free Man Like Unto Us if He Would Go Down in the Wilderness with Us”

W. Cleon Skousen

Nephi had said he was large of stature and now we discover how strong he really was. Even though he was holding the heavy brass plates in one arm, he reached out with his other hand and got a hammerlock grip on the servant of Laban. So Nephi had the advantage of holding him firmly while he began reasoning with him.
