Vs 2 Lehi and Nephi were descendents of Joseph. Direct line of authority.
Vs 3&4 Nephi explains his purpose in writing the scriptures, "that I may write the things of God...that I may persuade men to come unto...God... and be saved."
I like how direct Nephi is being. He does not beat around the bush. He tells it the way it is. He says to his future descendents to not occupy these plates with things which are not of worth. It is the same thing that applys to us in this day and age. Do not occupy our lives with things that are of no worth. We should be anxiously engaged in a good cause.
