vs. 3-8 Sariah has doubts about her sons safe return and about her husband being a prophet, calling him a visionary man. But in vs 5 Lehi maitains his own faith saying, I know that the Lord will deliver my sons... She struggled because she did not have the personal witness like Lehi had had. vs 8 when her sons returned she recieved her witness, and was able to say, now I know of a surety that the Lord hath commanded my husband to flee into the wilderness....I know the Lord hath protected my sons.
The Lord knew in order for her face the trials that lay ahead, she had to be on board with Lehi. She had to have a witness that what they were doing was correct. The Lord was merciful, and she recieved it.
vs 9 They gave thanks with sacrifice and burnt offerings. Awesome to give thanks to God first.
Lehi searched the scriptures, they became of great value to them. Lehi prophesied that they should never be dimmed any more by time.
