Joseph
and Sidney continued preaching and counseling with the elders of the
Kirtland region until January 10, 1832, when Joseph received the
following revelation.
1. For
verily thus saith the Lord, It is expedient in me that they should
continue preaching the gospel, and in exhortation to the churches, in
the regions round about, until Conference; and then, behold, it shall
be made known unto them, by the voice of the Conference, their
several missions.
2a.
Now, verily I say unto you, my servants Joseph Smith, Jr., and Sidney
Rigdon, saith the Lord, It is expedient to translate again, and,
inasmuch as it is practicable, to preach in the regions round about
until Conference, and after that it is expedient to continue the work
of translation until it be finished.
2b.
And let this be a pattern unto the elders until further knowledge,
even as it is written. Now, I give no more unto you at this time.
Gird up your loins and be sober. Even so. Amen.
