Of all that Lehi could choose from to take into the wilderness—gold, silver, and other precious things—the prophet took only his family and provisions for them to subsist. President Gordon B. Hinckley declared: “The family is divine. It was instituted by our Heavenly Father. It encompasses the most sacred of all relationships. Only through its organization can the purposes of the Lord be fulfilled” (Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, 206). Both Lehi’s focus on his family and his swift obedience demonstrate his trust in the Lord.
