"Provide means"
...if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness.
We can compare this with Abraham's reply to Isaac's question about the lamb for the sacrifice:
8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.”
Later, Abraham "called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided." (See Genesis 22:14.)
The Hebrew root here is "raah" which has many definitions, including to provide, to show, to behold, to see, to appear, to look, etc. It is worth noting that this same root shows up many times in the creation account, for example when it says "And God saw the light, that it was good" in verse 4 or "let the dry land appear" in Genesis 1:9.
"Get thee into the mountain"
Of course, Nephi also travels to a mountain in 1 Nephi 17:7 --
7 And it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had been in the land of Bountiful for the space of many days, the voice of the Lord came unto me, saying: Arise, and get thee into the mountain. And it came to pass that I arose and went up into the mountain, and cried unto the Lord.
On the mount, Nephi is "provided" direction where to find ore and shown how to build the ship (see also 1 Nephi 18:1-3). This connects nicely with the Hebrew root "raah" above.
"Seashore" and "Bountiful/Much fruit"
Notice the repetition in naming and describing Bountiful tucked away in Nephi's account:
5 And we did come to the land which we called , because of its much fruit and also wild honey; and all these things were prepared of the Lord that we might not perish. And we beheld the sea, which we called Irreantum, which, being interpreted, is many waters.
6 And it came to pass that we did pitch our tents by the seashore; and notwithstanding we had suffered many and much difficulty, yea, even so much that we cannot write them all, we were exceedingly rejoiced when we came to the seashore; and we called the place Bountiful, because of its much fruit.
The setting here is the border between land and sea, which bring the creation account to the mind. We also have some elements which ring familiar in the context of what God promised Abraham after providing the ram in the thicket, from verse 17:
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore.
I'll admit this one feels like a stretch to me, but it stood out so I decided to include it here.
"My brethren beheld that it was good"
God saw the light, that it was good
my brethren beheld that it was good
Summary
Nephi was a literary genius. The Book of Mormon was very carefully written by someone with intimate familiarity with the Hebrew Bible.
Understanding these points helps us have "eyes to see" as we study and also helps us understand why Nephi's perspective during his afflictions was so stalwart and so faithful. He understood Abraham's stor in the context of the plan of salvation. He understood his own adversity in the context of the great plan of salvation. He knew that his suffering was helping to fulfill promises given to Abraham by God, and that the purpose of the creation was to bring about the miracle of eternal life among God's children through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
