In this episode Anita points out the powerful symbolism that Nephi uses when he repeatedly uses the phrase "the Lamb of God" to describe Christ. She points out the surprising amount of times that the phrase is used and the way understanding what it can mean helps us further understand Nephi's vision. They also explore ways that this is used elsewhere in the Book of Mormon. The discuss Passover symbolism in Lehi's life. They also discuss how this is another evidence of the Hebrew nature of the Book of Mormon. They also explore the way Lehi's family continues to grow in their understanding of Christ and the way Nephi's vision affects it.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Scriptures or Real podcast. |
| 0:09.2 | This is the podcast where we talk about elements of the scriptures that have made them become more real to us because we believe that helps us get more power out of them and we need all the help we can get. |
| 0:18.6 | I'm your host, Kerry Mielstein, and I'm so thrilled to have with me my good friend for a long time, Anita Kramer Wells. So welcome, Anita. Thank you. So |
| 0:27.9 | glad to be here. So for this episode, I want to talk to you about something I've been working |

| 0:37.0 | just edifying |
| 0:37.6 | experiential or edifying educational experiences. |

| 0:42.9 | We kind of created a little board for this, and someone on the board suggested I do this. |
