The Book of Mormon > Third Nephi > Chapter 2
Questions
- Verse 8: Why do the people (who seem mainly to not believe in Christ at this time) begin to reckon time from his birth?
- In verse 9 it is mentioned that Nephi, who was the father of Nephi, never returned to the land of Zarahemla. Why is this mentioned again in this chapter when it was already mentioned in 3 Ne 1:3? Why is it necessary to mention it again?

3 Ne 2:11-15

The Book of Mormon > Third Nephi > Chapter 2
Questions
- Verse 15 tells us that curse of the Lamanites was suddenly removed and that their skin became white like the Nephites. Was this a literal change in their skin color?
Lexical notes
Verse 15
- White: Although many believe the mark of the Lamanites was a darker skin color because of their unrighteousness. However, there is little textual evidence in the Book of Mormon suggesting that skin color is related to righteousness. Here, the change in skin color is listed as a separate event, presumably a result of their intermarrying with the Nephites, than their becoming more righteous. (For more on this see the Tvedtnes article below.)
