The retelling makes Nephi the ship’s captain and master of the Liahona as he usurps his father’s authority in what could be construed as a mutiny from Bountiful to the land of promise.
Nephi wrote:I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that we sailed again towards the promised land.

And with that, he visualized and acted out murder in stories of the Book of Mormon by acting it out and tasting what it was like to shed blood in his own thoughts. This really is a dreadful subject and I apologize for upsetting anyone who is reading this post. I really do not mean to upset you! I mean to shed light on something that I suspect is hidden in the darkness and needs to be understood from a perspective that provides further light and knowledge of the true character of Joseph Smith.
1 Nephi 6:1-3 wrote:And now I, Nephi, do not give the genealogy of my fathers in this part of my record; neither at any time shall I give it after upon these plates which I am writing; for it is given in the record which has been kept by my father; wherefore, I do not write it in this work.
For it sufficeth me to say that we are descendants of Joseph.
And it mattereth not to me that I am particular to give a full account of all the things of my father, for they cannot be written upon these plates, for I desire the room that I may write of the things of God.
