16:33 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey, traveling
nearly the same course as in the beginning; and after we had traveled
for the space of many days we did pitch our tents again, that we might
tarry for the space of a time.
16:34 And it came to pass that Ishmael died, and was buried in the
place which was called Nahom.
16:35 And it came to pass that the daughters of Ishmael did mourn
exceedingly, because of the loss of their father, and because of their
afflictions in the wilderness; and they did murmur against my father,
because he had brought them out of the land of Jerusalem, saying: Our
father is dead; yea, and we have wandered much in the wilderness, and
we have suffered much affliction, hunger, thirst, and fatigue; and
after all these sufferings we must perish in the wilderness with
hunger.
16:36 And thus they did murmur against my father, and also against me;
and they were desirous to return again to Jerusalem.
16:37 And Laman said unto Lemuel and also unto the sons of Ishmael:
Behold, let us slay our father, and also our brother Nephi, who has
taken it upon him to be our ruler and our teacher, who are his elder
brethren.
16:38 Now, he says that the Lord has talked with him, and also that
angels have ministered unto him. But behold, we know that he lies unto
us; and he tells us these things, and he worketh many things by his
cunning arts, that he may deceive our eyes, thinking, perhaps, that he
may lead us away into some strange wilderness; and after he has led us
away, he has thought to make himself a king and a ruler over us, that
he may do with us according to his will and pleasure. And after this
manner did my brother Laman stir up their hearts to anger.
16:39 And it came to pass that the Lord was with us, yea, even the
voice of the Lord came and did speak many words unto them, and did
chasten them exceedingly; and after they were chastened by the voice of
the Lord they did turn away their anger, and did repent of their sins,
insomuch that the Lord did bless us again with food, that we did not
perish.
1 Nephi Chapter 17
17:1 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey in the
wilderness; and we did travel nearly eastward from that time forth. And
we did travel and wade through much affliction in the wilderness; and
our women did bear children in the wilderness.
17:2 And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us, that while we
did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of
suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men;
and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.
17:3 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled.
And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God
he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby
they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore,
he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness.
