Lehi takes his family into the wilderness by the Red Sea. They leave their property. Lehi offers a sacrifice to the Lord and teaches his sons to keep the commandments. Leman and Lemuel murmur against their father. Nephi is obedient and prays in faith; the Lord speaks to him, and he is chosen to rule over his brethren about 600 B.C.
