0 How did God make Nephi's brothers loathsome to the Nephites?

My servant Joseph Smith, Jun., might have power to translate ... by the power of God, the Book of Mormon. Doctrine & Covenants 1:29

Trivia: Three years before his death, Adam gave his last blessing. Where did that occur?

How did God make Nephi's brothers loathsome to the Nephites?


By making their skins black.

He [God] had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing ... wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.
And thus saith the Lord God: I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people. 2 Nephi 5:21
