The Book of Mormon, pg 12 ~~~~~ The Book of Mormon~~~~~ " Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth, and still did continue to murmur; Nevertheless they did follow me up until we came without the walls of Jerusalem. (pg 12) ~~~~~~~~~~ We now find Nephi and his brothers outside of the walls of Jerusalem as they return a third time to retrieve the plates from Laban. We can see some similarities to the Book of Joshua as Joshua leads the Isrealites from city to city as they claim their inheritance. This final encounter with Laban is the final colmination of Nephi's effort to preserve their family's records. Much like the Book of Joshua is the finale of the Isrealites claiming their lands. As we have seen with previous events, the Killing of Laban will be a conglomerate of multiple events across the Old Testament. ~~~~~ The Old Testament~~~~~ 1 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee
