Enoch looked upon the earth; and he heard a voice from the bowels thereof, saying: Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? The Book of Moses 7:48

Trivia: In the Book of Moses, when God introduced himself to Moses, what did he say his name was?

In Lehi's dream, who in his family ate from the happy fruit tree?


His wife Sariah, and his sons, Nephi and Sam.

(But his sons, Laman and Lemuel, refused to eat from it.
I looked to behold from whence it came; and I saw the head thereof a little way off; and at the head thereof I beheld your mother Sariah, and Sam, and Nephi; and they stood as if they knew not whither they should go.
And it came to pass that I beckoned unto them; and I also did say unto them with a loud voice that they should come unto me, and partake of the fruit, which was desirable above all other fruit.
And it came to pass that they did come unto me and partake of the fruit also. 1 Nephi 8:14
