Questions

Verse 6

  • Did the Lord bring this group out of the wilderness and into Bountiful because over the eight years they had become more righteous, or was it because the Lord needed them to set up a new society in the promised land before they became much older?

Verse 7

  • What is the significance of prefacing, in the Old Testament way, this command with the word "Arise"?

Verse 8

  • What precedents were there in scripture, that Nephi would have been familiar with, for building ships that were approved, let alone designed, by the Lord?

Verse 9

  • In chapter 16, Nephi built a bow and asked his father where he should go to hunt. Here, he asks the Lord where he should go to find materials for the boat he is to build. Is that parallel instructive? What does this show us about Nephi? Does it suggest something for us?

Verse 10

  • Was Nephi told, as well as shown, the exact location of the ore?
