==Lehi's desert journey: Journey from ''Nahom'' to Bountiful: Severe challenges==
<blockquote>
Such challenges fit the vivid reminiscences of the party's troubles preserved by writers other than Nephi. These later Book of Mormon authors, who enjoyed access to the fuller account of the party's journey, preserve recollections of troubles that differ markedly from details in Nephi's rather full narrative of the trip from Jerusalem to Nahom. For instance, King Benjamin recalls that at certain points along the way party members "were smitten with famine" ({{s||Mosiah|1|17}}). To be sure, the family had suffered from lack of food during the trip from the first camp to Nahom (see {{s|1|Nephi|16|17–32,39}}). But the word famine sounds a more ominous note. Moreover, Alma also writes of Lehi's party suffering "from famine" as well as "from sickness, and all manner of diseases" ({{s||Alma|9|22}}). In addition, Alma records that party members "did not travel a direct course, and were afflicted with hunger and thirst" ({{s||Alma|37|42}}). In contrast, according to Nephi's account, experiencing famine and disease, and not traveling a direct course, had not occurred to the party before arriving at Nahom. Hence, we should probably understand that the difficulties noted by Benjamin and Alma befell the group only after they turned "nearly eastward" at Nahom ({{s|1|Nephi|17|1}}). <ref>{{Book:Parry Peterson Welch:Echoes and Evidences of the Book of Mormon|pages=[http://publications.maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/fullscreen/?pub=1082&index=5 Chapter 5], {{sofr}}|author=S.
