0:00.0 | So let's first begin talking about covenants. We've talked about the covenant path several times. |
0:04.8 | And just as a brief reminder, there's two major covenants. There's Abrahamic covenants, |
0:09.6 | and that's what God's duties are to provide us pathways for salvation. And then there's |
0:16.0 | a mosaic covenant, and that's our duties and our loyalty back to God. And what God has asked of us has |
0:22.1 | been revealed at Mount Sinai. So you'll see these covenants actually playing out throughout |
0:26.6 | the Book of Mormon. In fact, they're very much on display in 2nd Nepi chapter 6 through |
0:32.1 | 10. And Isaiah spends a lot of time on these two covenants. So if you can remember these two |

1:13.4 | Jacob's name gets changed to Israel during this nighttime encounter with God that he has, |
1:18.4 | where he wrestles with God and God gives him this new name. It's almost like this temple |
1:22.1 | experience. And so we know Jacob also to be the same person to be as Israel. |
1:28.7 | And so his sons become the 12 sons of Israel or the 12 tribes of Israel. |
1:33.7 | And it's the descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel or the House of Israel or the Israelites, |
