Book of Mormon Commentary 1 Nephi Chapter 6 are word for word the same as the old English version. We therefore freely admit that Joseph Smith may have used the King James version when he came to the text of Isaiah on the gold plates. As long as the familiar version agreed substantially with the text on the gold plates he let it pass; when it differed too radically, he translated the Nephite version and dictated the necessary changes. A careful comparison of I Nephi 6 with Isaiah, chapters 48, 49, reveals no doctrinal or historical pattern of variation. Verse 30 of Nephi is not in Isaiah. Entire phrases are added or omitted. Such changes occur in fifty-two places. Over the centuries such editorial changes would, in the nature of literary effort, be expected. Should the reader wish for some additional comment on Chapter 6, it is suggested that he consult the Interpreter's Bible on Isaiah 48 and 49.
Book of Mormon Commentary 1 Nephi Chapter 7 NEPHI EXPLAINS ISAIAH'S PROPHECIES, VER. 1-42 1 Ne 7:4 For by the Spirit are all things made known unto the prophets, which shall come upon the children of men according to the flesh. 7:4 Nephi was asked to explain the meaning of Isaiah's writing when he had finished his reading. Are they spiritual or temporal in character? He told them they were "pertaining to things both temporal and spiritual" (5). In Isaiah's time the ten tribes had been driven out of Palestine into Assyria in 721 B.C. (II Kings 17:6). They were "scattered upon all the face of the earth " (6) and lost their identity and have been called the "lost sheep of the house of Israel" ever since (7; Matt. 10:5). 1 Ne 7:9 And they are scattered to and fro upon the isles of the sea; 7:9 "Sir Isaac Newton observed that the Hebrews considered the continents of Asia and Africa 'the earth' because they had access to them ...by land, while the parts of the earth to which access was gained by water were 'the isles of the sea.' Quite in keeping with this obscure Hebrew idiom, the Nephites referred to America as 'an isle of the sea.' "1 (See II N. 7:35.) 1 Ne 7:12 Wherefore, they shall be scattered among all nations, and shall be hated of all men. 7:12 The adverb "wherefore" refers to the reason indicated in verse 11. That part of the house of Israel which remained in Palestine, Judah and Benjamin (I Kings 12: 20-24) hardened their hearts against the Holy One of Israel ( the Christ). Their scattering then was to follow their rejection and crucifixion of Jesus, John said, "He came unto his own, and his own received him not" (John 1: 11). Judah became the main historical representative of Israel. The term "Jew" became ,the equivalent of "Israelite." The cursings promised on conditions of disobedience to God's law (Deut. 28:37-67) have been visited upon the Jew from A.D. 70 to the present time. While the rest of the tribes lost their identity through intermarriage, Judah has always carried distinguishing marks. Segregation, persecution, and pogroms have stained the pages of history because the Jews were "hated of all men," and the end is not yet. 1 Ne 7:13 Nevertheless, after they have been nursed by the Gentiles, and the Lord has lifted up his hand upon the Gentiles and set them up for a standard, and their children have been carried in their arms and their daughters have been carried upon their shoulders, behold, these things of which are spoken, are temporal: for thus are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers; 7:13 Nephi saw a time when the Gentile nations would favor the Jews. Their kings and queens would become as nursing fathers and mothers (18; Isa. 49:22, 23). Favors are to be shown to the Jewish children and women in particular. The Jews of America have fared quite well. During the past century the children have frequently distinguished themselves in our public schools and colleges. "Temporal" means of this time and place; it is to be understood as literal.
