Based on actual events as
recorded in the Book of Mormon: Another Testament
of Jesus Christ. [MUSIC PLAYING]
We shall call the name
of this place Nephi.
And the Lord was with us; and
we did prosper exceedingly. And we did observe to keep the
judgments, and the statutes, and the commandments
of the Lord.
And we began to raise
flocks and herds and animals of every kind.
And I did cause my
people to be industrious and to labor with their hands.
And I did build a temple;
and I did construct it after the manner of
the temple of Solomon save it were not built of
so many precious things.
And I, Nephi, did take
the sword of Laban, and after the manner of
it did make many swords, lest by any means the
people who were now called the Lamanites should
come upon us and destroy us. And the Lord God said unto
me: Make other plates; and thou shalt engraven
many things upon them which are good in my sight. Nephi.
Jacob. And I did consecrate
Jacob and Joseph, that they should be
priests and teachers over the land of my people. [INAUDIBLE] Oh, yes. And it came to pass that we
began to prosper exceedingly, and to multiply in the land.
And thirty years had
passed away from the time we left Jerusalem. And we lived after the
manner of happiness.
