Seems you did not fare so well. At least I am alive. He called me a robber and threatened to slay me! Now what shall we do? We return to our father in the wilderness. We will not go down to our father in the wilderness until we have accomplished the thing which the Lord hath commanded us! Nephi, I tried! He will not give us the plates.

Wait, let us go down to the land of our father’s inheritance. He has left gold and silver and all manner of riches. He knew that Jerusalem must be destroyed because of the wickedness of the people. And it is wisdom in God that we should obtain these records, that we may preserve unto our children the language of our fathers; and also that we may preserve unto them the words which have been spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets.

Come in. It grows cold.

The Lord will not forsake them. You are a visionary man.

Thou hast led us forth from the land of our inheritance, and my sons are no more, and now we perish in the wilderness.

I have not seen what you have seen. I cannot help but fear for their lives. Sariah, I know I am a visionary man;

for if I had not seen the things of God in a vision

I should not have known the goodness of God but had tarried at Jerusalem, and had perished with my brethren.

I know the Lord will deliver our sons out of the hands of Laban, and bring them down again unto us.

Once again, the Lord has commanded us to ask for the records which are engraven upon the plates of brass ...

for which we will give unto you our gold, and our silver, and all our precious things.

Zoram!

It’s beautiful. Beautiful.

I am quite pleased with your generous offer.

Guards! Thieves! -There are thieves in my house! -You are the thief! Slay them! Slay them all!
