159 "And now, if the Lord hath such great power and hath wrought so many miracles among the children of men, How is it that He cannot instruct me that I should build a ship?"

160 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said many things unto my brethren insomuch that they were confounded and could not contend against me,

161 Neither durst they lay their hands upon me nor touch me with their fingers, even for the space of many days;

162 Now they durst not do this lest they should wither before me, so powerful was the Spirit of God; And thus it had wrought upon them.

163 And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me: "Stretch forth thine hand again unto thy brethren and they shall not wither before thee, but I will shock them, " saith the Lord; "And this will I do that they may know that I Am the Lord their God."

164 And it came to pass that I stretched forth my hand unto my brethren and they did not wither before me, but the Lord did shake them even according to the word which He had spoken.

165 And now they said: "We know of a surety that the Lord is with thee, for we know that it is the power of the Lord that hath shaken us."

166 And they fell down before me and were about to worship me, but I would not suffer them, saying: "I am thy brother, yea, even thy younger brother;

167 Wherefore, worship the Lord thy God and honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee."

168 And it came to pass that they did worship the Lord and did go forth with me; And we did work timbers of curious workmanship,

169 And the Lord did show me from time to time after what manner I should work the timbers of the ship.
