Rhetorical: The repetition of the entrance into the way and the direction of the Spirit provides emphasis. The is no new information, but in oral discourse, the repetition brings the topic into focus again so that it may form the basis of the next section. Unlike a written text, oral texts cannot be read again to make sure that the context is understood. The repetition (in a more concise form)allows Nephi to highlight the issue for his listeners, and to use that synopsis as the basis for the remainder of the discourse.
