"Nephi" scriptural references are in the Book of Mormon.
Public domain source for Mormon scriptures:
EZEKIEL 37: 16-20
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 ¶ And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 ¶ And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Please Read 2 Nephi 29: 10-14 also. We will eventually have all scripture. It sounds like a complimentary version of Ezekiel 37; it will touch your heart!
1 Nephi 5: 14-19 implies that we will have the Brass plates with the pre-Babylonian captivity Old Testament -- oldest copy!!
1 Nephi 13:23 says it has more prophecies than the book that came from the Jews {Bible}.
This will settle some disputes over the texts, and also it probably will have missing books which will help bring the House of Israel to the True Messiah and message!!! These may be Jews here in the West. How great it will be if Jewish believers in the Messiah and the Book of Mormon help translate the Brass Plates!
My understanding is that the Brass Plates will be in old Hebrew, and any additional Nephite scriptures will be in Reformed Egyptian (which is a Hebrew grammar structure combined with Egyptian lettering). Ancient Egyptian had several styles, not just the famous hieroglyph style on monuments. Is anybody willing to learn the old Egyptian script also?
These two links briefly explain the old Egyptian alphabets
Special Note: We would like to see people with understanding of both the Mormon doctrine and Jewish teachings and culture, write discussions for teaching Jews who are willing to listen. It's our belief that others hands are tied by certain issues, and so this mission of reaching Jewish people needs to be done by regular people who act independently. Mormons familiarizing themselves with Hebrew teachings will better be equipped or suited for sharing the Gospel with Jewish people.
