| + | * vv. 5-17 have closely aligned with JST Genesis 50:25-35 (though not always word-for-word; it appears that Lehi is mixing paraphrase, quotation, and explication). However, v. 18 has no parallel in JST Genesis 50, and the sole subsequent verse in JST Genesis that quotes Joseph has no parallel in 2 Ne 3. This suggests that in v. 18 Lehi is speaking for himself again: "And the Lord said unto me [Lehi] also [in addition to Joseph of Egypt]: I will raise up unto the fruit of thy [Lehi's] loins" etc. | ||
