"I
know... which I make...I make it with mine own hand; and I
make it according to my knowledge"
-Nephi
taking personal responsibility/bearing personal testimony for the things he has
written. This is not a second hand account. It is a first hand, eyewitness record.
-his frequent
use of “I” may indicate his deep ownership of this record. Historical conditions are sometimes matters
of perspective or vantage point, even facts are open to interpretation but a
personal account is difficult to contradict.
“I know…”
-Nephi is
bearing strong/certain testimony.
