“The Counsel of Nephi To The Readers And Thus It is Amen”

Alan C. Miner

According to Hugh Nibley, Egyptian literary writings regularly close with the formula iw-f-pw, "Thus it is," 'And so it is.' Nephi ends the main sections of his book with the phrase, 'And thus it is. Amen.' (1 Nephi 9:6, 14:30; 22:31) [Hugh Nibley, Lehi in the Desert, F.A.R.M.S., p. 18]
