36 And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things.
37 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did go forth up into the top of the mountain according to the directions which were given upon the ball.
38 And it came to pass that I did slay wild beasts insomuch that I did obtain food for our families.
39 And it came to pass that I did return to our tents bearing the beasts which I had slain;
40 And now when they beheld that I had obtained food, how great was their joy.
41 And it came to pass that they did humble themselves before the Lord and did give thanks unto Him.
42 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey, traveling nearly the same course as in the beginning;
43 And after that we had traveled for the space of many days we did pitch our tents again, that we might tarry for the space of a time.
44 And it came to pass that Ishmael died and was buried in the place which was called Nahom.
45 And it came to pass that the daughters of Ishmael did mourn exceedingly because of the loss of their father and because of their afflictions in the wilderness;
46 And they did murmur against my father because that he had brought them out of the Land of Jerusalem, saying: "Our father is dead, yea, and we have wandered much in the wilderness, And we have suffered much affliction, hunger, thirst and fatigue; And after all these sufferings we must perish in the wilderness with hunger."
