Packing for a Long Trip
What does your family pack before going on a long trip? Name a few things.
Before Jared and his brother left their homes in Jerusalem with their families and friends, the Lord told them to ‘gather together flocks and seeds of every kind.’ The Lord also told them to ‘prepare a vessel . . . to carry with them the fish of the waters,’ ‘lay snares to catch fowls of the air,’ and to ‘carry with them deseret, which by interpretation is a honey bee; and thus they did carry with them swarms of bees . . . ,’ (Ether 1:41-42, 2:1-3)
Why did the Lord ask Jared and his brother and their friends and families to pack unusual things for their long trip?
They didn’t know how long their trip would be or where to find the land of promise. At first, the Lord directed them to the valley of Nimrod. But the valley of Nimrod was not the land of promise.
They still had a very long way to go.
How many times do you think Jared and his brother, their families and friends asked, ‘Are we there yet?’
Can you define these words? flock, vessel, fowl, snares
