<p style="text-align: justify;">At the time Jacob gave his speech in 2 Nephi 6&ndash;10, the Nephites had already been driven from two lands of inheritance and felt an ongoing concern of being cut off from God&rsquo;s promises. Belnap illustrates that Jacob&rsquo;s speech answers these concerns through emphasizing and expounding on the covenantal relationship made possible by God acting as the Divine Warrior. Jacob quotes Isaiah passages in his discourse and in some instances makes his own additions to emphasize important aspects.
