It struck me as interesting that the Lord would ask “to which of my creditors have I sold you?” It should be telling to the people of the covenant if they stop to consider that the Lord has no creditors—he is the creditor for all who have spiritual debts.

I have always thought that there were parts of Isaiah that were quoted more than once. I finally took the time to verify that the words of Isaiah that Jacob quotes in 2 Nephi 6 were also quoted by Nephi in 1 Nephi 21.

I never connected the fact that Nephi made his second set of plates after separating from the Lamanites. I wonder if part of the reason was so there would be a record that the Lamanites were unaware of in case they destroyed one record.
