1 Nephi 5 – 7
I’ll bet that this reading of the brass plates is what inspired Lehi to name his next two sons Jacob and Joseph after his progenitors. I had not realized that one of the sons of Ishmael was apparently swayed to support Nephi after the Lord released him from being bound on their way back to Lehi (it probably didn’t last, but losing some of their support probably helped convince Laman and Lemuel to relent).
