After the three-hour chastisement, the brother of Jared “repented of the evil which he had done, and did call upon the name of the Lord for his brethren who were with him.” Yahweh did not tell the brother of Jared why he needed to ask, only that he needed to. When he does ask, Yahweh tells him. They should proceed to the land of their inheritance that Yahweh has prepared for them. This was Yahweh’s original intent (v. 7).
