2 Nephi 3-5 – Podcast Ep 253 Show Notes

2 Nephi 3-5 details the prophecy of Joseph of Egypt regarding the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, Lehi’s counsel to his sons before his death, the Psalm of Nephi, and the separation between the followers of Nephi and Laman.

The quote where Joseph Smith said, “I don’t blame anyone for not believing my history. If I had not experienced what I have, I would not have believed it myself” can be found in History of the Church, Volume 6, page 317.
