“The so-called higher critics of the Bible have raised the question as to whether or not the miracles of the exodus of Israel under Moses actually happened as they are recorded in the Old Testament. (See Exodus 14:19–20, 26–31; 16:4, 15; 17:5–6; Numbers 21:6–9.) However, the Book of Mormon substantiates the actuality of these miraculous events. (1 Nephi 17:23, 26, 28, 29, 30, 41.) … Nephi’s knowledge of these miracles came from the authentic account on the brass plates of Laban (1 Nephi 5:11), … once again the Book of Mormon serves as a witness to its companion scripture, the Bible” (Ludlow, Companion to Your Study of the Book of Mormon, 115).
