Summary
We mention an article by Noel that can be found at https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/byusq/vol20/iss2/2/
We also mention an article by Daniel Belnap that can be found at https://rsc.byu.edu/things-which-my-father-saw/even-our-father-lehi-saw-lehis-dream-nephite-cultural-narrative
They also talk about a book by Jack Welch on charting the Book of Mormon found here https://rsc.byu.edu/things-which-my-father-saw/even-our-father-lehi-saw-lehis-dream-nephite-cultural-narrative
Kerry and Noel discuss how the things found in Lehi's dream serve as a foundation for so many things that will be found elsewhere in Nephi's writing and also in the entire Book of Mormon. They especially discuss the theme of all of Nephi's writings, as explained in 1 Nephi 10:17-19, and emphasize how Nephi keeps illustrating the point of how one can seek to learn God's will or not, and how that affects everything else. They show how understanding this theme helps us understand everything else in the Book of Mormon.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the scriptures a real podcast. |
| 0:10.6 | This is the podcast where we talk about elements of the scriptures that have made them become real to us because we believe that helps us draw more power out of them and we need all the help we can get. |
| 0:19.6 | I'm your host, Kerry Mealstein, |
| 0:26.0 | and I'm so happy to have back with us. Again, in a repeat performance, we've got Dr. Noel Reynolds, who was with us last week. I haven't had very many guests on two weeks in a row. I think |
| 0:30.9 | Andrew Skinner is the only other one. So you're in good company there. You both share a background |
| 0:36.6 | and helping to direct farms. And we gave a great |
| 0:41.9 | introduction, I think, of Noel last week. So we'll refer our audience to listen to that if they want to |
| 0:47.9 | learn more about him. And this week, maybe we'll just jump right in. Let's do a little bit of business first. So we have a few things |
| 0:56.0 | we want to make you aware of. We're just trying to get as much out there to help people with their |
| 0:59.8 | study of the Book of Mormon as possible. So we've been posting some things on Enlighten Edge EDU. So it's |
| 1:07.0 | patreon.com slash enlightened edge EDU where I've got a video that I think I mentioned last time, |

| 1:23.2 | I also have an article posted there about the covenant in Jerusalem, or the covenant that's made with the House of Israel and comparing it to how that's reestablished with the people as they leave Jerusalem with Nephi and his people in the Book of Mormon. |
