Lehi Counsels with His Family to Leave Jerusalem | 1 Nephi 2:1–3 | Book of Mormon
The Lord recognizes that Lehi has been faithful to him, and He warns Lehi to leave Jerusalem before wicked people take his life. Lehi explains to his family the vision God gave him. Leaving their home and all they own behind will not be easy. His wife, Sariah, and his sons—Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi—agree to go with him into the wilderness. Based on 1 Nephi 2:1–3: 1 For behold, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto my father, yea, even in a dream, and said unto him: Blessed art thou Lehi, because of the things which thou hast done; and because thou hast been faithful and declared unto this people the things which I commanded thee, behold, they seek to take away thy life. 2 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded my father, even in a dream, that he should take his family and depart into the wilderness. 3 And it came to pass that he was obedient unto the word of the Lord, wherefore he did as the Lord commanded him.
