2 Nephi 21

2 Nephi 21:1–5. “A Rod Out of the Stem of Jesse”
When Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith on 21 September 1823, “he quoted the eleventh chapter of Isaiah, saying that it was about to be fulfilled” (Joseph Smith—History 1:40). Nephi quoted the same chapter of Isaiah in 2 Nephi 21.
D&C 113:1–4. Rod: Jesus Christ. Stem: Joseph Smith
2 Nephi 21:10. “A Root of Jesse”
D&C 113:5–6 identifies the “root of Jesse” (v. 5; see also 2 Nephi 21:10). This “root . . . shall stand for an ensign of the people” (v. 10).
