Helaman 5:23

And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi were encircled about as if by fire, even insomuch that they durst not lay their hands upon them for fear, lest they should be burned. Nevertheless, Nephi and Lehi were not burned; and they were as standing in the midst of fire, and were not burned.

Nephi and Lehi were surrounded by something like fire. The people were afraid to touch them. They thought they would be burned. But Nephi and Lehi were not burned. They stood in the middle of fire and were not burned.

But Nephi and Lehi were surrounded by what looked like fire. The guards were too afraid to touch them—they thought they’d be burned. Yet Nephi and Lehi weren’t burned at all. They stood in the middle of the fire, completely unharmed.
