“This is the only specific mention of ‘sisters’ found in the Book of Mormon. That Nephi mentions ‘sisters’ in the plural means that at least two went with him. He does not refer to these sisters as the wives of Ishmael’s sons. And those married sisters, who had rebelled from the time they first came out of Jerusalem, would probably not have left their husbands to go with Nephi without his mentioning the fact. More likely, the sisters who accompanied Nephi were younger, born in the wilderness” (Hurd, Our Sisters in the Latter-day Scriptures, 10).
