To each his own, but it’s more evidence than what you had for your theory. :)
]]>From your following sentence, you seem to think the term “the two sons” must mean all the sons because an alternate wording is used in referring to the daughters. That’s some evidence, but too thin for my taste.
]]>For example, when referring to some of the daughter (rather than all of them), Nephi says “two of the daughters of Ishmael”. When he refers to the sons, he says just “the two sons of Ishmael”.
]]>Perhaps one of Nephi’s sisters was hot? (see 2 Ne. 5:6) Or maybe it was a guilt trip from his (jewish) mother. (Easy, now. That’s just a joke.)
I actually suspect that either one of his own sisters or his father or mother convinced him (temporarily, at least) of the divinity of their mission.
