14 And it came to pass that my father, Lehi, also found upon the plates of brass a genealogy of his fathers; wherefore he knew that he was a descendant of Joseph; yea, even that Joseph who was the son of Jacob, who was sold into Egypt, and who was preserved by the hand of the Lord, that he might preserve his father, Jacob, and all his household from perishing with famine.
This verse verifies that Lehi is descended from Joseph, who was sold into Egypt. It also shows that The Book of Mormon fulfills Ezekiel’s prophecy in Ezekiel 37 about combining the records of the house of Judah (Bible) and of Joseph (Book of Mormon) and using both records together.
