Shipbuilding Struggles in the Wilderness

Part of: Jaredite Era

• The Jaredites go to work, and build small and light barges.
• The barges were constructed in a very tight manner.
• The brother of Jared prays, reports to the Lord that he build the barges, but expresses concern that there is no light or fresh air in the barges.
• The Lord instructs the brother of Jared to cut two holes in the boat, one at the top and one at the bottom, allowing for ventilation.
• The brother of Jared does as he is commanded, but still is concerned that there is no light.
• The Lord rhetorically asks the brother of Jared what he thinks should be done about the lighting problem—windows are not a viable option.
