34 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the pointers which were in the ball, that they did work according to the faith, and diligence, and heed, which we did give unto them.
35 And there was also written upon them a new writing, which was plain to be read, which did give us understanding concerning the ways of the Lord; and it was written and changed from time to time, according to the faith and diligence which we gave unto it.
36 And thus we see, that by small means, the Lord can bring about great things.
37 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did go forth up into the top of the mountain, according to the directions which were given upon the ball.
38 And it came to pass that I did slay wild beasts, insomuch that I did obtain food for our families.
39 And it came to pass that I did return to our tents, bearing the beasts which I had slain;
40 And now, when they beheld that I had obtained food, how great was their joy.
41 And it came to pass that they did humble themselves before the Lord, and did give thanks unto him.
42 And it came to pass that we did again take our journey, traveling nearly the same course as in the beginning;
43 And after we had traveled for the space of many days, we did pitch our tents again, that we might tarry for the space of a time.
44 And it came to pass that Ishmael died, and was buried in the place which was called Nahom.
