Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Nephi says that he was "born of goodly parents". Who were they?

Answer: Lehi (father) and Sariah (mother)

Most people probably think that Nephi meant that his parents were righteous by calling them "goodly" parents. While Lehi and Sariah were undoubtedly righteous, it's also possible that Nephi was referring to their many possessions. Lehi is introduced in 1 Nephi 1:4, and Sariah in 1 Nephi 2:5.

2. What language does Nephi mention in 1 Nephi 1:2?

Answer: Egyptian

Moroni says that he wrote in Reformed Egyptian. It never says what Nephi used. By that time it had probably changed because they had been isolated for so long. 1 Nephi 1:2 reads "Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians."

3. In which city does the story of Nephi and his family begin?

Answer: Jerusalem

The Book of Mormon begins in Jerusalem, but most of it takes place in the Americas. 1 Nephi 1:3

4. Lehi had a vision in Jerusalem that he saw someone descending out of heaven, who was as bright as the sun at noon. Who was this?

Answer: Jesus Christ

Lehi also saw the twelve apostles following him, and Lehi described them as being brighter than the stars.

5. When Lehi prophesied to the people in Jerusalem that they would be destroyed if they didn't repent, how did they react to these teachings?

Answer: They wanted to kill Lehi

The Jews mocked Lehi for his words and wanted to kill him. 1 Nephi 1:19-20

6. Lehi and his family left Jerusalem. Soon after, the Lord commanded Lehi to send his sons back to get what?

Answer: the brass plates

The Nephites needed the brass plates because they had the genealogy written on them, and also the commandments of the Lord. Nephi notes that they needed to conserve their language. 1 Nephi 3:2

7. How did the brothers decide which of them would go to see Laban?

Answer: They cast lots

The text says that they did "consult one with another" and afterwards cast lots. This practice was common in those days (See Acts 1:26). 1 Nephi 3:11

8. How did Laban react when Laman went to visit?

Answer: He called Laman a robber and tried to kill him

Laban was angry and called Laman a robber. 1 Nephi 3:13

9. Nephi had a different strategy for getting the brass plates after Laman's attempt had failed. What was it?

Answer: To give Laban their family's riches

After Laman's failure, Laman and Lemuel wanted to give up. Nephi, however, convinced them to try again. His idea was to try to barter for the plates with his father's riches, which they had already left behind. 1 Nephi 3:16

10. Both Sam and Nephi's attempts to get the brass plates had failed. How did Laman and Lemuel treat their younger brothers after these two failures?

Answer: They (Laman and Lemuel) beat Nephi and Sam with a rod

Laman and Lemuel were very upset, and physically abused their younger brothers. An angel of the Lord came to chastise them while in the act. 1 Nephi 3:28-29
