69 And it came to pass that I arose and went up into the mountain, and cried unto the Lord.
70 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying, Thou shalt construct a ship, after the manner which I shall shew thee, that I may carry thy people across these waters.
71 And I said, Lord, whither shall I go, that I may find ore to molten, that I may make tools to construct the ship, after the manner which thou has shewn unto me?
72 And it came to pass that the Lord told me whither I should go to find ore, that I might make tools.
73 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did make bellows wherewith to blow the fire, of the skins of beasts;
74 And after I had made bellows, that I might have wherewith to blow the fire, I did smite two stones together, that I might make fire.
75 For the Lord had not hitherto suffered that we should make much fire, as we journeyed in the wilderness;
76 For he said, I will make thy food become sweet, that ye cook it not;
77 And I will also be your light in the wilderness;
78 And I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments;
79 Wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall be led toward the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led.
