You'd think that would be a bit obvious if they'd been there all along.<br /><br />2: Israel almost certainly had metalsmiths by Nephi's time, which was 400 years after the verse in 1st Samuel. However, when Zedekiah was implanted as king (see 1st Nephi 1), the king of Babylon carted off all the rich people AND craftsmen. I wish Nephi had mentioned how they escaped deportation at that time. It might also explain why Laban was so eager to get his hands on their gold if that sort of wealth was rare by then.Lironahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034345743942941947noreply@blogger.com
