1 Nephi 1:100 - 1 Nephi 1:110
100 Therefore let us go up; let us be strong like unto Moses; for he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea, and they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came through out of captivity on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow and were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea.

102 Let us go up; the Lord is able to deliver us, even as our fathers, and to destroy Laban even as the Egyptians.
103 Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth, and did still continue to murmur; nevertheless they did follow me up until we came without the walls of Jerusalem.
104 And it was by night: and I caused that they should hide themselves without the walls.
105 And after they had hid themselves, I, Nephi, crept into the city, and went forth towards the house of Laban.
106 And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do.
