fruit thereof; and I beheld that it was most sweet, above all

       that I ever before tasted. Yea, and I beheld that the fruit

       thereof was white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever

       seen.

      1 Nephi 8:12

       12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with

       exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my

       family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was

       desirable above all other fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:13

       13 And as I cast my eyes round about, that perhaps I might

       discover my family also, I beheld a river of water; and it ran

       along, and it was near the tree of which I was partaking the

       fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:14

       14 And I looked to behold from whence it came; and I saw the

       head thereof a little way off; and at the head thereof I beheld

       your mother Sariah, and Sam, and Nephi; and they stood as if they

       knew not whither they should go.

      1 Nephi 8:15

       15 And it came to pass that I beckoned unto them; and I also did

       say unto them with a loud voice that they should come unto me,

       and partake of the fruit, which was desirable above all other

       fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:16

       16 And it came to pass that they did come unto me and partake of

       the fruit also.

      1 Nephi 8:17

       17 And it came to pass that I was desirous that Laman and Lemuel

       should come and partake of the fruit also; wherefore, I cast mine

       eyes towards the head of the river, that perhaps I might see

       them.

      1 Nephi 8:18

       18 And it came to pass that I saw them, but they would not come

       unto me and partake of the fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:19

       19 And I beheld a rod of iron, and it extended along the bank of

       the river, and led to the tree by which I stood.

      1 Nephi 8:20

       20 And I also beheld a strait and narrow path, which came along

       by the rod of iron, even to the tree by which I stood; and it

       also led by the head of the fountain, unto a large and spacious

       field, as if it had been a world.

      1 Nephi 8:21

       21 And I saw numberless concourses of people, many of whom were

       pressing forward, that they might obtain the path which led unto

       the tree by which I stood.

      1 Nephi 8:22

       22 And it came to pass that they did come forth, and commence in

       the path which led to the tree.

      1 Nephi 8:23

       23 And it came to pass that there arose a mist of darkness; yea,

       even an exceedingly great mist of darkness, insomuch that they

       who had commenced in the path did lose their way, that they

       wandered off and were lost.

      1 Nephi 8:24

       24 And it came to pass that I beheld others pressing forward,

       and they came forth and caught hold of the end of the rod of

       iron; and they did press forward through the mist of darkness,

       clinging to the rod of iron, even until they did come forth and

       partake of the fruit of the tree.

      1 Nephi 8:25

       25 And after they had partaken of the fruit of the tree they did

       cast their eyes about as if they were ashamed.

      1 Nephi 8:26

       26 And I also cast my eyes round about, and beheld, on the other

       side of the river of water, a great and spacious building; and it

       stood as it were in the air, high above the earth.

      1 Nephi 8:27

       27 And it was filled with people, both old and young, both male

       and female; and their manner of dress was exceedingly fine; and

       they were in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers

       towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit.

      1 Nephi 8:28

       28 And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed,

       because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away

       into forbidden paths and were lost.

      1 Nephi 8:29

       29 And now I, Nephi, do not speak all the words of my father.

      1 Nephi 8:30

       30 But, to be short in writing, behold, he saw other multitudes

       pressing forward; and they came and caught hold of the end of the

       rod of iron; and they did press their way forward, continually

       holding fast to the rod of iron, until they came forth and fell

       down and partook of the fruit of the tree.

      1 Nephi 8:31

       31 And he also saw other multitudes feeling their way towards

       that great and spacious building.

      1 Nephi 8:32

       32 And it came to pass that many were drowned in the depths of

       the fountain; and many were lost from his view, wandering in

       strange roads.

      1 Nephi 8:33

       33 And great was the multitude that did enter into that strange

       building. And after they did enter into that building they did

       point the finger of scorn at me and those that were partaking of

       the fruit also; but we heeded them not.

      1 Nephi 8:34

       34 These are the words of my father: For as many as heeded them,

       had fallen away.

      1 Nephi 8:35

       35 And Laman and Lemuel partook not of the fruit, said my

       father.

      1 Nephi 8:36

       36 And it came to pass after my father had spoken all the words

       of his dream or vision, which were many, he said unto us, because

       of these things which he saw in a vision, he exceedingly feared

       for Laman and Lemuel; yea, he feared lest they should be cast off

       from the presence of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 8:37

       37 And he did exhort them then with all the feeling of a tender

       parent, that they would hearken to his words, that perhaps the

       Lord would be merciful to them, and not cast them off; yea, my

       father did preach unto them.
