===Killing Laban and returning for Ishmael's family===
{{see also|Killing of Laban}}
Lehi sends his sons back to Jerusalem to retrieve some [[brass plates]], a record{{Clarify|reason=record of WHAT?|date=March 2024}} in the possession of [[Laban (Book of Mormon)|Laban]], a leader in Jerusalem and relative of Lehi. Nephi and his brothers make two failed attempts after which Nephi tries a third time by himself only to find Laban drunk and unconscious. Prompted by the Holy Spirit,{{Clarify|reason=This is an interesting anachronism. Is there any commentary on it? Anyway, I think it is probably "spirit of God"? Can someone clarify?|date=March 2024}} Nephi kills Laban with his own sword and dresses in Laban's clothes. Impersonating Laban, Nephi commands Laban's servant, Zoram, to bring the brass plates outside the city to his brothers. Zoram discovers Nephi's subterfuge and tries to flee, but Nephi persuades him to travel with his family, and they all return with the plates. The brass plates indicate that Lehi is a descendant of [[Joseph (Hebrew Bible)|Joseph]], the son of [[Jacob]]. The plates also contain the five books of [[Moses]], the writings of [[Isaiah]] and other prophets. Lehi's sons return to Jerusalem once more to retrieve the family of Ishmael,{{Clarify|reason=who is Ishmael?|date=March 2024}} some of whom later become spouses for Lehi's children.<ref>{{harvnb|Thomas|2016|p=33}}; {{harvnb|Spencer|2020|p=13}}</ref>
