Ether 6:4

And it came to pass that when they had prepared all manner of food, that thereby they might subsist upon the water, and also food for their flocks and herds, and whatsoever beast, or animal, or fowl that they should carry with them: And it came to pass that when they had done all these things, they got aboard of their vessels or barges, and set forth into the sea, commending themselves unto the Lord their God.

They prepared all kinds of food. They would need it for their trip on the water. They also brought food for their sheep, cattle, and whatever animals or birds they carried with them. When they had done all these things, they got into their boats. They started out into the sea. They trusted the Lord their God to take care of them.

When they had stored up all kinds of food for the journey—enough to last on the water—and gathered food for their flocks and herds and whatever animals or birds they were taking with them, they climbed aboard their barges and launched out into the sea, entrusting themselves to the Lord their God.
