Lehi begins with a good blessing, and bestows it upon Zoram, the servant of Laban who chose to go with the family. In spite of the forcefulness of his departure from Jerusalem, Lehi indicates that Zoram has been faithful, and became of "true friend unto my son, Nephi, forever." While we hear little of Zoram, it appears from this blessing that he was sufficiently susceptible to the spirit to recognize it in Nephi.
