    1 Nephi and the Exodus

    Key Scripture 1 Nephi 4:2

    Explanation Lehi’s group saw themselves as reenacting the exodus of the


    Israelites from Egypt. Just as God had called Moses and Joshua to
    lead the children of Israel out of oppressive conditions, across a sea
    and the river Jordan, and into the promised land, so he called Lehi
    to lead his group out of Jerusalem, across the ocean, and to a new
    land of promise. Nephi thought of Moses when he exhorted his
    brothers to be “strong like unto Moses,” who had delivered his
    people out of captivity (1 Nephi 4:2). As a typology, that first exo-
    dus, mainly in the Old Testament book of Exodus, became a pat-
    tern whose motifs may be found throughout Nephi’s story of this
    second exodus. By extension, many of these themes can also be
    found in accounts of other Book of Mormon groups who were
    likewise delivered from captivity and fled into the wilderness. It is
    a pattern that still holds today in the personal conversion of indi-
    viduals who flee evil and seek the Lord.
