abstract	First Nephi is the abbreviated title of The First Book of Nephi His Reign and Ministry. It is the first published section of The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The book contains a record of an ancient people during a three decade period from approximately 600 BC (BCE) to approximately 570 BC (BCE). The book includes a record of two families or clans, one headed by a man named Lehi and the other headed by a man named Ishmael. Lehi and Ishmael both lived in or around Jerusalem around 600 BC. Lehi had a vision and was warned that Jerusalem would be destroyed if the people did not repent. He preached to the people and invited them to repent. Lehi, having been warned by the Lord, fled the city into the wilderness with his family to save his life. His sons were sent back to Jerusalem twice--first to retrieve a scriptural record of the Jews engraved on metal plates of brass; second to invite Ishmael's family / clan to join them on their journey. During this time, Zoram, another resident of Jerusalem, joined the traveling party as well. The group, headed by Lehi, traveled across the Arabian Peninsula for approximately eight years. After spending some time on the sea shore, the group constructed a ship according to the Lord's directions and sailed across the ocean to the American continent. The themes in First Nephi parallel closely the experience of the Israelites under Moses in their journey to the promised land. The story of Moses is referenced a number of times during the narrative, and Lehi speaks of obtaining a promised land for the inheritance of his family. The book contains elements of history, Messianic visions, sermons related to the scattering and gathering of Israel, and quotations from the Old Testament prophet Isaiah.
