 Lehi's family leaves Jerusalem... (compare 1 Nephi, chapter 2)

The Lord said to my father in a dream,


 * "I bless you because you faithfully told the people the things I commanded you to tell them. However, because of this, they are planning to kill you. To escape them, take your family into the wilderness."

Lehi obeyed the Lord and left his home, lands, gold, silver and treasures, taking only his family, tents and supplies into the wilderness.
