-why were
Nephi and all placed at the head of the river?
Is there some kind of significance?
“I beheld
Sariah, Sam and Nephi…”
-why, at
this point (when these three don’t even know where to go or how to proceed) is
Laman and Lemuel not with them? What
does this indicate? What is this symbolic of?
“… they knew
not whither to go…”
-those
who have an understanding/knowledge have some responsibility and stewardship
for those who know less.
-we
should remember that Lehi, at one point, did not know where to go himself and
had to have direction.
-there
are times in all of our lives when we don’t know where to go, how to proceed,
etc. It is not a strange even that
happens to others or once in life. It is
a fairly common experience.
“whither”
-does
this mean “where” or “how” or “in what manner”?
Whichever (or all together) it conveys much meaning. The difference between the answers coming
from the question “where” and the question “how” is not only dramatic, but
instructive.
