In 2 Nephi 2, Lehi's articulation of the fall of man reinterprets it as a necessary component of God's plans for human salvation. [39] 2 Nephi 2:18 identifies "the serpent" as the devil. [40] According to literary critic Michael Austin, 2 Nephi describes prelapsarian reproduction as impossible, making the fall a prerequisite for procreation. [41]
Nephi also mentions having sisters, though he does not give their names or birth orders. Little is known about Nephi's children.

For some parts of the Book of Mormon text, likely dates of transcription have been identified. This includes the restarting of translation work (referred to in D&C 10 in April–May 1829), teachings on baptism in 3 Nephi (referred to in D&C 13 on May 15, 1829), and a prophecy of the Three Witnesses in 2 Nephi 27
