Come, Follow Me — Book of Mormon — Nephi’s prophesy of Christopher Columbus

Nephi’s prophesied of Christopher Columbus. How does he toe into the overall Gospel story?

Did Lehi and Sariah have daughters that married the sons of Ishmael?

by Guest Author | Jan 19, 2020 | #ComeFollowMe, Come Follow Me lessons, Come, Follow Me 2020 | 0 |

Although the beginning of Nephi’s record only mentions sons, Joseph Smith says the record of Lehi in the 116 missing manuscript pages refers to at least two of Ishmael’s sons marrying Lehi’s daughters. Nephi himself mentions his sisters at the end of his record. As no mention is made of further births to Lehi and Sariah after Jacob and Joseph, the assumption can be made that these sisters are the daughters who married Ishmael’s sons.
