A New Home in the Promised Land.
The Nephites and the Lamanites.
Lehi and Sariah’s family kept
growing in the promised land. Their children had children of
their own. Lehi was getting old.
Before he died, he gave blessings
to the people in his family.
He told them that when they kept God’s
commandments, the Lord would help them.
After Lehi died, Nephi led the
people. He told them to obey the Lord.
Laman and Lemuel were mad. They wanted
to kill Nephi so that they could lead instead. The Lord told
Nephi to leave with his family and anyone else who
wanted to follow the Lord.
They traveled for many days
and found a new place to live.
Those who went with
Nephi were called Nephites, and those who stayed
were called Lamanites.
The Nephites asked Nephi
to lead them. They worked hard. They farmed, raised animals, and
built a temple and other buildings.
Priests and teachers taught them about
the Lord, and the people were happy.
