Once Laman and Lemuel had had their fill of the Lord's chastisement, they decided to take away Nephi's life. Following a warning from the Lord, Nephi took everyone who would follow him and departed into the wilderness. After traveling for many days, they pitched their tents and began to build a permanent residence for themselves. They planted crops, raised livestock, built buildings, erected a temple, and most importantly, they followed the Lord.
