This week we continue our discussion of Laman and Lemuel. Ishmael's family joins the caravan. We talk about some cultural context of this nomadic lifestyle. We also discuss the family unit and it's role in keeping the peace. The parents have a big role in making the expedition work. Laman and Lemuel are persuaded by status and power and Nephi is seen as a threat to that aspiration. The birthright rarely goes to the eldest son in the scriptures even though that would be the cultural norm. The Lord is no respecter of persons and entitlement is a dangerous thing spiritually. Laman and Lemuel will not cry to the Lord and so they can't understand what Lehi and Nephi expound to them. They also take the words of the Lord to be hard and are not willing to do the work required to be converted and gain spiritual knowledge.
