Nephi is finishing up a long talk with his brothers about keeping the commandments. All he states about the end of their discussion, which included the meaning of Lehi's dream, is that he exhorted them with all diligence to keep the commandments of the Lord. Then Nephi's brothers humble themselves before the Lord. This is a great thing. Then, because of this, Nephi has great hopes for them, that they would keep the commandments and walk in the paths of righteousness.
I think of how this scripture applies today. We should always exhort our family to live the commandments, when the time is right, as prompted by the Holy Ghost. Nephi's brothers are teachable at this moment because the Spirit was in their conversation. An applicable cross-reference can be found in Matthew 18:20, which says, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
We now come to the end of the conversations, vision, and all the events surrounding Lehi's dream because verse 6 states that all these things were done while their father dwelt in a tent in the valley of Lemuel.
