Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 8:10
"a tree, whose fruit was desirable to make one happy"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 11:22
"it is the love of God"

Lehi sees the tree in his dream (8:10); the vision supplies its meaning. Asked 'the meaning of the tree which thy father saw' (11:21), Nephi answers 'it is the love of God' (11:22). The symbol-to-meaning gloss is the text's own.
