The language used by Lehi in the Book of Mormon resembles the allegory in the book of Genesis, indicating that Lehi may have been influenced by it. Lehi's vision portrays the scattering and gathering of Israel, with a focus on the Gentiles and the house of Israel being compared to an olive tree. This concept of scattering and gathering reflects the allegory in Genesis. It suggests that Lehi's vision may have been shaped by his study and contemplation of these ideas, leading to his profound dream. Additionally, Lehi sees the gathering of Israel happening in a different place and emphasizes that it will occur as they come to know the true Messiah and Redeemer.
Dr. Gaye Strathearn continues to explore the Savior’s invitation to receive the blessings of the Savior’s Atonement in 1 Nephi 6-10.
