But comparing Nephi’s vision to some of the main Enoch texts is fascinating. Lots of similar geography type presentations. I suspect it applies to Lehi as well. I used to have a binder on all the parallels I halfway thought of writing up one day but lost it in a basement flood about 8 years ago.

I also appreciate your thoughts on Nephi’s dream about the the tree of life and how quick we are to attribute Laman and Lemuel’s choices to sin.
