1 Nephi 5
- Sariah complains against Lehi because he allowed Nephi, Laman, and Lemuel to go back to Jerusalem to bring back the plates of brass containing the writings of Moses and other prophets.
- Her sons return to the tent and Sariah understands why the Lord commanded Lehi to take their family and flee into the wilderness.
Verse 8--Now I know of a surety that the Lord hath commanded my husband to flee into the wilderness; yea, and I also know of a surety that the Lord hath protected my sons, and delivered them out of the hands of Laban.
- The plates of Brass contained the five books of Moses, which also included the account of the creation of the world and Adam and Eve who were our first parents. Also the record of the Jews from the beginning, even to the reign of Zedekiah, and many prophecies spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah.
- Lehi found a genealogy of his fathers, also knowing he was a descendant of Joseph who was the son of Jacob, who was sold in Egypt. He had a physical copy stating his genealogy.
- Laban who wanted to keep the plates of brass from Nephi, Laman and Lemuel was also a descendant of Joseph.
- Lehi realizes the plates of brass should never perish.
