Nephi’s Encounter with Laban

Church Educational System
As you read Nephi’s account of his encounter with Laban, remember again his words in 1 Nephi 3:7

You can see that these words were not an idle boast, and that Nephi really meant what he said. We also learn that while the Lord “shall prepare a way” for the obedient servant to keep his commandments, the way may not be an easy one.

As you continue your study of the Book of Mormon, watch for evidence of the importance of the brass plates in the subsequent history of the Nephites.
