2 Nephi 4
1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did cry much unto the Lord my God because of the anger of my brethren,
2 But behold, their anger did increase against me, insomuch that they did seek to take away my life;
3 Yea, they did murmur against me, saying: "Our younger brother thinketh to rule over us and we have had much trial because of him; Wherefore now let us slay him, that we may not be afflicted more because of his words;
4 For behold, we will not that he shall be our ruler, for it belongeth unto us which are the elder brethren to rule over this people."
5 Now I do not write upon these plates all the words which they murmured against me,
6 But it sufficeth me to say that they did seek to take away my life.
7 And it came to pass that the Lord did warn me that I, Nephi, should depart from them and flee into the wilderness, And all they which would go with me.
8 Wherefore, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did take my family, and also Zoram and his family, and Sam, mine elder brother, and his family, and Jacob and Joseph, my younger brethren, and also my sisters, and all they which would go with me -
9 And all they which would go with me were they which believed in the warnings and the revelations of God, Wherefore, they did hearken unto my words -
10 And we did take our tents and whatsoever things were possible for us and did journey in the wilderness for the space of many days.
11 And after that we had journeyed for the space of many days, we did pitch our tents;
