plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the

       earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it

       came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were

       blessed in abundance.

      1 Nephi 18:25

       25 And it came to pass that we did find upon the land of

       promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, that there were

       beasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and

       the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all

       manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we

       did find all manner of ore, both of gold, and of silver, and of

       copper.

      1 Nephi 19 Chapter 19

      1 Nephi 19:1

       1 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded me, wherefore I

       did make plates of ore that I might engraven upon them the record

       of my people. And upon the plates which I made I did engraven

       the record of my father, and also our journeyings in the

       wilderness, and the prophecies of my father; and also many of

       mine own prophecies have I engraven upon them.

      1 Nephi 19:2

       2 And I knew not at the time when I made them that I should be

       commanded of the Lord to make these plates; wherefore, the record

       of my father, and the genealogy of his fathers, and the more part

       of all our proceedings in the wilderness are engraven upon those

       first plates of which I have spoken; wherefore, the things which

       transpired before I made these plates are, of a truth, more

       particularly made mention upon the first plates.

      1 Nephi 19:3

       3 And after I had made these plates by way of commandment, I,

       Nephi, received a commandment that the ministry and the

       prophecies, the more plain and precious parts of them, should be

       written upon these plates; and that the things which were written

       should be kept for the instruction of my people, who should

       possess the land, and also for other wise purposes, which

       purposes are known unto the Lord.

      1 Nephi 19:4

       4 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did make a record upon the other plates,

       which gives an account, or which gives a greater account of the

       wars and contentions and destructions of my people. And this

       have I done, and commanded my people what they should do after I

       was gone; and that these plates should be handed down from one

       generation to another, or from one prophet to another, until

       further commandments of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 19:5

       5 And an account of my making these plates shall be given

       hereafter; and then, behold, I proceed according to that which I

       have spoken; and this I do that the more sacred things may be

       kept for the knowledge of my people.

      1 Nephi 19:6

       6 Nevertheless, I do not write anything upon plates save it be

       that I think it be sacred. And now, if I do err, even did they

       err of old; not that I would excuse myself because of other men,

       but because of the weakness which is in me, according to the

       flesh, I would excuse myself.

      1 Nephi 19:7

       7 For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth,

       both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under

       their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample

       under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would

       speak in other words—they set him at naught, and hearken not to

       the voice of his counsels.

      1 Nephi 19:8

       8 And behold he cometh, according to the words of the angel, in

       six hundred years from the time my father left Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 19:9

       9 And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to

       be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he

       suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they

       spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving

       kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men.

      1 Nephi 19:10

       10 And the God of our fathers, who were led out of Egypt, out of

       bondage, and also were preserved in the wilderness by him, yea,

       the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, yieldeth

       himself, according to the words of the angel, as a man, into the

       hands of wicked men, to be lifted up, according to the words of

       Zenock, and to be crucified, according to the words of Neum, and

       to be buried in a sepulchre, according to the words of Zenos,

       which he spake concerning the three days of darkness, which

       should be a sign given of his death unto those who should inhabit

       the isles of the sea, more especially given unto those who are of

       the house of Israel.

      1 Nephi 19:11

       11 For thus spake the prophet: The Lord God surely shall visit

       all the house of Israel at that day, some with his voice, because

       of their righteousness, unto their great joy and salvation, and

       others with the thunderings and the lightnings of his power, by

       tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness, and by the

       opening of the earth, and by mountains which shall be carried up.

      1 Nephi 19:12

       12 And all these things must surely come, saith the prophet

       Zenos. And the rocks of the earth must rend; and because of the

       groanings of the earth, many of the kings of the isles of the sea

       shall be wrought upon by the Spirit of God, to exclaim: The God

       of nature suffers.

      1 Nephi 19:13

       13 And as for those who are at Jerusalem, saith the prophet,

       they shall be scourged by all people, because they crucify the

       God of Israel, and turn their hearts aside, rejecting signs and

       wonders, and the power and glory of the God of Israel.

      1 Nephi 19:14

       14 And because they turn their hearts aside, saith the prophet,

       and have despised the Holy One of Israel, they shall wander in

       the flesh, and perish, and become a hiss and a byword, and be
