Questions

Verse 1

  • Was Nephi's description in this verse affected by Old Testament verses such as 1 Chr 28:14?

Verse 2

  • Was Nephi quoting Lehi when he wrote the phrase "in other words"?
  • Is there a difference between a dream and a vision? What might qualify a dream as a vision?

Verse 3

  • How might Laman and Lemuel have felt to be unflatteringly compared to their younger brother?

Verse 4

  • Is it possible that Lehi might have inadvertantly pushed his older children--who obviously did have some serious issues--further away by comparing them to their younger siblings?

Verse 5

  • As members of the church, who leads us to the tree?
  • Who was this man that Lehi followed?
  • Is there special significance to the man's robe being white?
