2 Ne 4:11 thy seed shall be numbered with his seed

This is consistent with other scriptures in the Book of Mormon and D&C. The term "Samites" is never found. This is because they were numbered with the "Nephites." In Jacob's list of the "ites" of the Book of Mormon, "Samites" are notably absent, Now the people which were not Lamanites were Nephites; nevertheless, they were called Nephites, Jacobites, Josephites, Zoramites, Lamanites, Lemuelites, and Ishmaelites (Jacob 1:13). DC 3:17-18 lists the Nephites, Jacobites, Josephites, Zoramites, Lamanites, Lemuelites, and Ishmaelites. Again "Samites" are notably absent.

This is remarkable doctrinal consistency for the machinations of an unschooled farm boy from Vermont. Unless, of course, he was a prophet of God.

"For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and profit of my children."
"Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually"

We need to delight in reading and pondering the scriptures as well as be more thankful and living the things that we learn and read.

We need to seek for knowledge by learning and also by faith as is says in the scriptures. (D&C 88:118)
As we seek by faith as well we will gain a greater knowledge and greater blessings in return from our Father in Heaven.

Blessing: God gave us night so that we can rest from our labors.
