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.
