This verse speaks of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Lehi understood from the writings of Joseph of Egypt that “eventually, a special seer would bring to pass ‘much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren’ (2 Nephi 3:24). Lehi also prophesied that the record his people kept would spread to the survivors of his seed and then to all parts of the world (see 2 Nephi 3:18–21)” (Brown, “Nephi’s Use of Lehi’s Record,” 12).
