January 10, 1832. Handwritten version of revelation published in current Doctrine and Covenants as Section 73. Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, January 10, 1832. Since the early part of the preceding December, the Prophet and Sidney had been engaged in preaching, and by this means much was accomplished in diminishing the unfavorable feelings that had arisen against the Church because of Ezra Booth. Joseph and Sidney are commanded to resume the translation of the Bible until it is finished. Elders are to keep preaching and Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are to keep translating the Bible.
