Lehi's Sons Invite Ishmael's Family to Join Them | 1 Nephi 7:1-5

The Lord commands Lehi to send his unmarried sons to Jerusalem and invite the family of Ishmael to join them. Ishmael's daughters can then marry Lehi's sons in order to increase their family and inherit the land of promise to which the Lord is directing them. Ishmael's family consents and accompanies Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi on the way back to Lehi's tent in the wilderness.
Based on Nephi 7:1-5:
1 And now I would that ye might know, that after my father, Lehi, had made an end of prophesying concerning his seed, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto him again, saying that it was not meet for him, Lehi, that he should take his family into the wilderness alone; but that his sons should take daughters to wife, that they might raise up seed unto the Lord in the land of promise.
2 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded him that I, Nephi, and my brethren, should again return unto the land of Jerusalem, and bring down Ishmael and his family into the wilderness.
3 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did again, with my brethren, go forth into the wilderness to go up to Jerusalem.
4 And it came to pass that we went up unto the house of Ishmael, and we did gain favor in the sight of Ishmael, insomuch that we did speak unto him the words of the Lord.
5 And it came to pass that the Lord did soften the heart of Ishmael, and also his household, insomuch that they took their journey with us down into the wilderness to the tent of our father.
