2Ne Ch11

Nephi is hiding even more words of Jacob! Who else is digging his teachings? Nephi says there are more but he has written what sufficeth him and he praises him for his teachings. Then he addresses the law of Moses and how it typifies Christ. And if you don't know what typify is, welcome aboard! Let's try to figure it out...

There are 5 main things that Nephi lists that he delights in

1- in the words of Isaiah (v2)

2- proving the truth of the coming of Christ to his people (v4)

3- the covenants The Lord has made (v5)

4- in God and His grace, justice, power, and mercy (v5)

5- proving men must perish lest God should come unto them (v6)

Isaiah, Nephi, and Jacob have all seen the Redeemer and testifies of the established word of God (v2-3). The word typifying is mentioned in v4 to tell us that the law of Moses was given to point to God and let us know him. Nephi has been made so happy from the scriptures he has read that he wants to share them with his seed and us (v5-8). These scriptures he quotes are to tell us of God, Christ, the creation, and all knowledge that has been given.

There are 12 chapters which Nephi quotes from Isaiah. Luckily we have the bible that has the comparison chapters to study and learn from side by side.
