Nephi was a very good reader of scripture. As an ancient israelite, he sees things that can really help guide our reading from seventh and sixth century perspectives. He uses the writings of the jews and the writings that him and his descendants would carryout. And so that story had power for nephi.

For i know eth he giveth no commandment unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way.
