The main reason scholars have found was that raiders would have seen fires along the path and could have potentially attacked their family at night. The Lord was protecting them from danger and also providing them a way to survive as they perhaps wouldn't have normally eaten raw meat (possibly a lack of wood as well).

It was my understanding that it was not safe because it would attract the robbers if you built a fire.

I always thought the Babylonians would spot their fires from miles away if they were to build fires as they escaped through the wilderness.

In addition to the fires being seen by potential bad guys, not cooking meat preserves certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C. Eating raw meat prevents scurvy.

For those not convinced about the vitamin C issue, I'll give some more context. Jews didn't eat blood and food safe practices. 1. Jews would thoroughly cook meat to prevent any blood from remaining in the meat, sometimes even washing or boiling the meat before cooking. 2. Fully cooking meat well done was a method used to prevent food borne illness from meat. In light of the extreme cooking of meat, most, if not all, vitamin C would have been fully destroyed had they cooked their meat. The vitamin c was necessary to prevent scurvy in the wilderness for the 8 years they spent in it.

I started doing carnivore. It healed a lot of issues I was having, especially a few female issues. I lost weight, my body got fit and my issues were gone!! However, they're was the WOW issue..... then I read this. I said, yes!! God approved carnivore!! He healed Sariah menopause because she had 2 more kids and the women gave suck!! So still doing carnivore and I feel amazing!! ❤

I believe I heard from Dr. Damia Peterson that Lehi most probably traveled close to the ancient trade rout ( I'm thinking the Spice Rout ) anyway the Lord may have wanted them to not give away their location to Roberts along the rout .l

LehĂ­ could not burn fires. Zedekiah would have pursued him in the wilderness. Smoke would have given his location away

There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there is perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books and Benchmark Books.

I've always assumed the deserts they were traveling through didn't have much brush or other vegetation to make fires with, particularly when they travelled eastward from Nahom across the Arabian sand dunes.

I feel there's an entire perspective on this topic that has not yet had a voice in the comments. So here's something else to ponder. An interesting word delve can be had throughout ancient scriptural texts comparing the use of the word "meat" and the word "flesh" as to when and how "meat" and "flesh" are being used in the context of the scripture. Too often we get hung up on modern uses of words as opposed to their more ancient common uses. The 1828 edition of the Webster's Dictionary has this as the first definition of the word "meat": MEAT, noun

1. Food in general; any thing eaten for nourishment, either by man or beast.

From this more common use of "meat" just 200 years ago, we can see that "meat" and "flesh" are not synonyms of each other, but "flesh" is a subset of "meat." Often "meat" is used in ancient text the same way "food" is used by us in modern days; not typically meaning the same as consuming "flesh" but instead consuming "food". So in this context the raw "meat" could very well be uncooked food of any kind, (as opposed to only uncooked animal flesh), this could be plant products as much as it could be animal products. Many plant products are more commonly eaten cooked rather than raw: squashes, herbs root vegetables, alliums, etc. Consuming the raw versions of these vegetables can be quite bitter to the palate. A divine promise that whether what is consumed is flesh or plant, that it will be sweet is quite a mercy and kindness. How good is our God? :)

Dried meat is nutritious, easier to transport, and lasts a lot longer than stew or fruit and veggies. Also, it would be easier to get meat vs veggies and fruit in the wilderness. Dried meat is still a staple in many countries.

There is one more thing. I'm quite sure God knew this too, if you have ever actually seen what The Empty Quarter looks like... sand for miles, very, very little scrub of any kind. It is known as the world's largest 'sand sea'.

NO TREES. NO WOOD.❤

As a hunter and survivalist...if you prepare the meat as raw to eat. There is something called ascorbic acid which is what we call vitamin C. If you cook it you'll cook it out the vitamin C and have a higher chance of getting scurvy.

Something else to consider is that we know Lehi was wealthy and he must have been doing something to amass that wealth that was later lost to Laban. Based on other commentary we understand that Lehi was a trader, and the route they took into the wilderness paralleled a very well-known trading route. One thing the Lord did not want them to do for a variety of reasons was to avoid contact with other travelers. Nephi says they took their journey along the coast, and I suspect it paralleled the well-traveled trading route, however it was most likely somewhat removed to avoid contact with other travelers. Lehi would have been familiar with this route. In order to avoid contact with other travelers which if you think about it would have given the other two brothers ample opportunity to abandon the family to head back to Jerusalem. So in addition to all the benefits alluded to here in this video there is the strategic decision by the Lord to not have fire as is recorded in Nephi's writings.

Fires produce light and smoke. So, probably the territory that they were traveling through was filled with tribes, which were very territorial and could have attacked Lehi's group with the death of members who were necessary. They weren't a large group, and the loss of anyone could have reduced their chances of succeeding in the new world.

It allowed them to absorb vitamin C. Cooked meat has no vit C. They would need to eat raw meat on their voyage across the ocean to avoid scurvy and other deficiencies.

It’s the content of raw meat has nutritional value that gets cooked out. That’s how natives in the arctic eat raw meat and never have health problems like scurvy from a lack of citrus or vegetables.
