As Lehi and his family tarried in the wilderness, Lehi had a vision in which the gospel of Jesus Christ was represented as fruit that was exceedingly white and sweet. Lehi saw a rod of iron near a river, a strait and narrow path, mists of darkness into which many strayed, and a great and spacious building. Lehi’s sons Nephi and Sam partook of this fruit, but his sons Laman and Lemuel rejected it (see 1 Ne. 8).
