44. When Nephi was asked by his father to go back after the Brass Plates of Laban. What great statement did he make that eloquently expressed his faith(verse 7)? ''I will go an do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.''
45. When Laman attempted to obtain the Brass Plates of Laban simply by asking for them and, failing in the attempt, was ready to abandon the project, what fiery oath did Nephi utter to register his determination to succeed (verse 15)? ''I said unto them that; ''As the Lord liveth, and as we live, we will not go down unto our father in the wilderness until we have accomplished the thing which the Lord hath commanded us.''
46. What new scheme did Nephi now propose for acquiring the plates(v16)? go to his fathers land of inheritance and get his gold and silver and all manner of riches.
47. What did Laman and Lemuel do when Nephis' scheme for obtaining the plates failed(v28)? They were angry they did speak hard words unto the younger brothers and they hit them with a rod.
48. What did the angel say that indicated the ancient custom of the eldest son succeeding his father in the right to rule(the law of primogeniture) was going to be reversed in Lehi's family(verse 29)? The Lord chose Nephi to be a ruler over his older brothers because they would not listen to (The Lord)him and follow his commandments, but Nephi would listen and would obey. It was because of the older brothers iniquities is why the Lord chose Nephi.
49. What do we learn from the murmurings of Laman and Lemuel about the authority of the ''mighty man.'' Laban(verse 31)? God is mightier than Laban, but Laman and Lemuel can't believe it. Laman and Lemuel continue to murmur even after an angel tells them that Laban will be delivered into their hands.
