The First Book of Nephi: His Reign and Ministry (/ ˈ n iː f aɪ /), usually referred to as First Nephi or 1 Nephi, is the first book of the Book of Mormon, the sacred text of churches within the Latter Day Saint Movement, and one of four books with the name Nephi.
The times when these passages were produced corresponds with a sequence and a consistent pace of translation beginning at Mosiah in April 1829 [8] and then arriving at 1 Nephi later that summer. [7] [9] [10] The pages of the original manuscript containing 1 Nephi are written in Oliver Cowdery's handwriting. [5]
The Book of Mormon quotes 25,000 words from the KJV Old Testament (e.g., 2 Nephi 30:13-15; cf. Isaiah 11:7-9) and over 2,000 words from the KJV New Testament. [ 47 ] There are numerous cases where the Nephite writers mimic wording from the New Testament, a document to which they would have had no access.
The Book of Mormon is a religious text of the Latter Day Saint movement, first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith as The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi. [1] [2] The book is one of the earliest and most well-known unique writings of the Latter Day Saint movement.
The KJV of 1769 contains translation variations which also occur in the Book of Mormon. A few examples are 2 Nephi 19:1, 2 Nephi 21:3, and 2 Nephi 16:2. The Book of Mormon references "dragons" and "satyrs" in 2 Nephi 23:21-22, matching the KJV of the Bible.
He awoke and recounted it to his children as described in the 8th chapter of the First Book of Nephi. Lehi's son, Nephi, recorded the vision on the golden plates, and later had the same vision, albeit a more detailed version, which he records later in the same book. [3] Nephi's vision also included an interpretation of the vision.
Nephi claims at the beginning of his writings that those who are faithful will become "mighty" [11] and the mercies of the Lord will be extended to them. According to Noel B. Reynolds, director of the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon studies, this statement of Nephi's in 1 Nephi 1:20 is a thesis that he supports about thirty times with different events in his writings.
According to the Book of Mormon, Lehi (/ ˈ l iː h aɪ / LEE-hy) [1] was a prophet who lived in Jerusalem during the reign of King Zedekiah (approximately 600 BC). [2] In First Nephi, Lehi is rejected for preaching repentance and he leads his family, including Sariah, Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi, into the wilderness.
