 It is about 600 BC, and God directs the prophet Lehi to enlist another family to join them in the wilderness outside of Jerusalem. Conflict arises between Lehi's sons as they experience a difficult journey. Based on actual events as recorded in the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. Siriah, the Lord has spoken unto me. It is not me to take my family into the wilderness alone, but that my sons should take daughters to wife, that they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of promise. I will gather our sons, and as a family we can thank the Lord for answering my prayers as well. And we shall thank daughters to wife, that we might raise up children unto the Lord in the land of promise. Yes, but a wife, and a family. Ishmael! Oh, did not expect I'd ever see you again. Where are Lehi and Siriah? Ishmael, our Father sends us with the message. We must speak with you. Of course. Come, sit. We doubted our Father's decision for a time, but in our journey to get the plates, we saw an angel. As bright as the sun and in the day, in the cave where we stood. Our Father was shown that Jerusalem will be destroyed, that many shall perish by the sword, and many more carried away captive into Babylon. The Lord desires that the house of Ishmael join with the house of Lehi in the wilderness. The journey to a land of promise that he has prepared for us. The Lord wishes that I and my family go with Lehi and his family into the wilderness. Yes. We know that Lehi is a faithful man. Do we not also believe what he has taught in the words of all the prophets? Father Ishmael, our two families are a branch of the house of Israel. The Lord desires that our families unite, that we might inherit the land of promise. Come with us. Let us ask the Lord. This is hopeless. We should return home. Things of sun and sand and more. Son? At my own home, I could at least rest in the shade. You say the Lord desires this union of our families? Yes. Yes, he does. For what purpose? Why have we forsaken so much for so little? We have done it because our parents are fools. Why should we not go back? Let Neva and Sam wander the wilderness with mother and father. Lumbiwold, if you return to Jerusalem, you will perish with everyone there. Better to perish in Jerusalem than perishing here. Laman, Limeel. Father is not the only fool. We too are fools for following him. Please! You are my elder brethren. And how is it that you are so hard in your hearts and so blind in your minds that you have need that I, your younger brother, should speak unto you? It's an example for you. It would be wise to see such talk, little brother. How is it that you have not hearkened unto the word of the Lord? How is it that you have forgotten that you have seen an angel of the Lord? How is it that you have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to His will for the children of men if it so be that we exercise faith in Him? If we are faithful to Him, we shall obtain the land of promise. And ye shall know that the word of the Lord shall be fulfilled concerning the destruction of Jerusalem. The spirit of the Lord ceaseth soon to strive with them. They have rejected the prophets, and Jeremiah they have cast into prison, and they have sought to take away the life of my father. Your father, I will not be lectured by a boy! If you will return to Jerusalem, ye shall also perish with them. And now if ye have choice, go up to the land and remember the words which I speak unto you. If ye go, ye shall also perish, for thus the spirit of the Lord constraineth me that I should speak. Hold him! Hold him! Let me from the hands of my brethren be strained that I may burst these bands with which I am bound. Please listen to me. Find him again! But I exhort you to pray to the Lord, your God, for forgiveness. We will.
