9 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord spake unto my father by night, and commanded him that on the morrow he should take his journey into the wilderness.
Again, Lehi receives a commandment from the Lord to move on.
I wonder how long they were actually in the Valley of Lemuel. I also wonder if,
when he says, “on the morrow,” Nephi really meant the very next day. Had they
been packing for some time? I’m sure there was a lot of preparation and packing
involved in moving to the next location, especially if they had been in one
location for several years. You tend to get settled and into a routine that is
difficult to interrupt. On the other hand, they were probably expert at packing
and traveling.
