1Nephi 3

(I read this last night...)

Vs5. So Lehi had already spoken to L&L while N was receiving his kudos from the Lord.
I love how Lehi has such a clear perspective on why he's making his kids do this... It is interesting that Heavenly Father wants the kids to do it, rather than Lehi... Oh, duh! It's Lehi everybody wanted to kill - that's why they had to take off! Duh-me!
Vs6. N's already received his testimony and is also "in tune" - that's why he doesn't need to whine too.
Vs8. Wouldn't that be great to hear from your kid?
Vs12. I wonder how Laman presented the idea to Laban? If it had been presented in a different way (if Laman's heart had been willing to do it in the first place) - would it have made a difference to Laban? Or was he just plain wicked. I guess Laban got a couple of chances to make it right, though. But it really doesn't matter in the end what the "if"s were - because the result was what it was!
Vs15. N's a tough nut with a testimony - you can see he could be rather stubborn.
Vs28. Ouch!! Not even just punches! They were pretty violent.
Vs29. No wonder an Angel had to stop them! And then to have to humiliate them with the reminder that N would rule over them.... So you can see how L&L just outright lied to their posterity. Wonder how they dismissed this from their memories and justified themselves later on. What a lot the parents had to deal with! The Angel even told them they needed to go back - but they still made N do it!
