Nephi continues his discourse to his brothers. Nephi's theme has been the deliverance of Israel from the Egyptians, and the care of their God in that process. While unstated, his correlation between the fate of the children of Israel and their own family is the direct point of his teaching. In these verses he again uses the unquestionable facts to provide the foundation of his oblique criticism of his brothers. The description of the Lord in verses 39-30 is not one that either Laman and Lemuel could possibly argue with.
