    10. Num. 32: 9

       For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.


    11. Deut. 5: 29

       O that there were such an aheart• in them, that they would bfear• me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!


    12. Deut. 17: 20

       That his heart be not lifted up above his abrethren•, and that he bturn• not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his cchildren, in the midst of Israel.

D&C 2: 1.
