Even the slight conceptual break between verses 11 and 12 that comes from their visual separation belies the nature of what happens here. Nephi is walking to his home, and receives revelation from God. Part of that revelation and gift is also a command that Nephi preach repentance to the people. Nephi turns around in his tracks and begins the task. He does not go home to “freshen up,” even though he has been bound and undergone a trial. He does not return home to put on something perhaps more appropriate. He does not go home to feed the figurative dog. He turns around. Immediately. Without question he is about the task he has been given, even though preaching that very message has just resulted in his arrest and a threat on his life.
