Narrative analysis: Verses 37 and 38 are a fascinating picture into the divergent purposes to which Lehi's vision was put. For Nephi it becomes an important springboard to his own personal epiphany, yet for Lehi, it was a vision for Laman and Lemuel, and triggered not only this vision, but a sermon (verse 37) and further prophesy for them (38), none of which is recorded. Nephi tells us as much about his own purposes by what he leaves out here as he does by what he has included.
