0:00.0 | Hello there. My name is Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:06.2 | Today we're going to talk about Jacob chapters 1 through 4. |
0:11.1 | And this is a powerful section of scripture where Nephi has passed the baton of teaching and leading as a prophet the people to his younger brother |
0:24.0 | Jacob while he's passed the kingship and the ruling of the people onto somebody else. |
0:31.0 | So here was Nephi who was both a king and a priest. |
0:34.9 | Now two different people are going to be carrying those two different batons. |
0:38.7 | And so we follow the prophetic line as we pick up the words of Jacob, his younger brother. |

1:40.9 | And can you imagine when Nephi, this prophet who was bigger than life in so many settings, |
1:47.3 | then turns the mantle of prophetic leadership over to Jacob along with the care of those |
1:54.5 | small plates of Nephi. The large plates were given to the next, and the small plates, the sacred record, |
2:02.5 | were given to Jacob. I can only imagine how Jacob fills this sense of inadequacy, this feeling |
2:09.2 | of, I don't know if I can do this, but I love the fact that Jacob, even though he's a little |
