Verses 12 to 15 are another insertion in the narrative. Nephi's style in the small plates is to present historical information, and then extract the spiritual lesson from it. These verses are the inserted moral. Nephi returns to the theme of the fire, and notes the promises of the Lord for both their food and their guidance. He certainly understood the parallel between his own family's exodus, and the exodus of his people from Egypt where the Lord similarly provided nourishment and guidance.
