"In what follows, I propose that Nephi’s purpose clause 'that ye may have hope' has direct reference to Isaiah 49:22–23 and, in particular, to the prophetic promise 'they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.' The connection becomes clearer when we examine the meaning of the Hebrew verb employed by Isaiah, qāwâ, which means not only 'to wait' (as in KJV Isaiah 49:23) but more precisely 'to hope' (as reflected in the derived nouns tiqwâ and miqweh, both denoting 'hope'). Further examination reveals that Nephi considered Isaiah 49:22–23 one of Isaiah’s most important prophecies. Isaiah’s prophetic promise regarding the gathering and restoration of Israel in Isaiah 49:22–23 is deeply rooted in the Abrahamic covenant (compare Genesis 22:18 and 1 Nephi 22:6–12) and anticipation of its fulfillment. Nephi’s concept of hope is thus similarly rooted in waiting for and expecting the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant." [Author]
