It is interesting that the Lord turned around and asked the brother of Jared how he thought this problem should be solved. The Lord complicated the issue by pointing out how many things they must not do if they want to survive this treacherous and sometimes violent journey across the great sea. The Lord says his previous instructions will provide the safe migration of the colony across the deep but the Lord wants the brother of Jared to suggest what the Lord might do so the barges can have light when they are submerged in the depths of the sea.
