Troubles in Nahom
Part of:
Lehites in Jerusalem and Arabia
The group continues their travels. They arrive at a place called Nahom, where Ishmael dies and is buried.
Ishmael’s daughters mourn bitterly, lament their condition, and want to go back home.
Laman and Lemuel plot to kill Lehi.
Laman and Lemuel attribute Nephi and Lehi’s purported revelations to trickery and fraud.
As they were plotting, they hear the booming voice of God chasten them; they repent immediately.
The group keeps moving, this time eastward; several of the women bear children on the way.
Sariah, Lehi’s wife, bears two sons: Jacob and Joseph.
The group is blessed for keeping God’s commandments; they are able to live healthily and happily off of raw meat in compliance with God’s commandment not to build fires.
