"... I knew that the Lord had delivered
Laban into my hands for this cause..."
-but the
Lord still could have accomplished this without making Nephi kill. So, what is he trying to teach Nephi/us here?
“the Lord
delivered Laban into my hands… that I might obtain the records…”
-well
here it is finally! The culmination of a
process and promise which began way back when Nephi said “I will go and do the
things which the Lord commands…” Much
has transpired, Nephi has endured many trials and hardships and finally –almost
anticlimactically- the Lord has delivered Laban without any grand fight and
Nephi would, almost, that he not have to perform the task at his hand. But this is how the Lord has ordained it to happen.
