“Wherefore, I shall give commandment unto my seed, that they shall not occupy these plates with things which are not of worth unto the children of men.” (1 Nephi 6:6)
v. 1-6: I guess the biggest thing that I got out of this chapter is the fact that Nephi is writing this record towards the end of his life. He’s not interested in writing about himself, nor is he interested in writing what the world would find entertaining, but rather the things of God that would be most valuable to mankind. He’s already planning on handing these plates down from generation to generation, and I assume that these plates were also to be used by his people, unlike those written by Moroni hundreds of years later.
