Book of Mormon Haiku

1st Nephi Chapter 3

As the Lord liveth

Record of the covenant

I will go and do

1 Nephi 3 - Lehi's sons return to Jerusalem to obtain the plates of brass; Laban refuses to give them up; Nephi exhorts and encourages his brethren; Laban steals their property and attempts to slay them; Laman and Lemuel smite Nephi and are reproved by an angel.

There is something profoundly important about the knowledge of the eternal promises made to our fathers. In fact, the story of Laban's sword unmistakenly teaches us that this knowledge is vital.
