ute4ever is an unknown quantity at this point
Default "...and my father dwelt in a tent"

I tried asking this question on that other website, but the responses were primarily paranoid defenses of the legitimacy of the Book of Mormon.

So let me try this again.

Why do you suppose Nephi felt the need to write several times (at least 4 by one count) that his father dwelt in a tent? What is the significance? Is he pointing out that they left all of their wealth behind to go and do as the Lord commanded?
