“An Instrument in the Hands of God”

Brant Gardner

Lehi reiterates the mission of Joseph Smith, though he allows himself the literary license to lump the differing branches of the house of Joseph into a single entity, which is the explanation for the "and there shall rise up one mighty among them..." where the antecedent is clearly the posterity of Joseph, son of Lehi.

2 Nephi 3:25

25 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.
