59 And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God, He doth nourish them and strengthen them and provide ways and means whereby they can accomplish the thing which He hath commanded them;
60 Wherefore, He did provide ways and means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness.
61 And we did sojourn for the space of many years, yea, even eight years in the wilderness.
62 And we did come to the land which we called Bountiful because of its much fruit, and also wild honey;
63 And all these things were prepared of the Lord that we might not perish;
64 And we beheld the sea which we called Irreantum, which being interpreted is "many waters."
65 And it came to pass that we did pitch our tents by the seashore;
66 And notwithstanding we had suffered many afflictions and much difficulty, yea, even so much that we cannot write them all, We were exceedingly rejoiced when we came to the seashore;
67 And we called the place Bountiful because of its much fruit.
68 And it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had been in the Land Bountiful for the space of many days, the voice of the Lord came unto me, saying: "Arise and get thee into the mountain."
69 And it came to pass that I arose and went up into the mountain and cried unto the Lord.
