Welcome to Church History Matters, Come Follow Me Edition, where we are systematically diving into every section of the doctrine and covenants throughout the year 2025.

We have a lot to talk about today, so let's get into it.

Hello, Scott. Hello, Scott.

Hello, Casey.

Here we are.

Here we are in D&C 10 and 11.

And this is kind of the lost manuscript part two, correct?

Yeah, the lost manuscript part two.

Yeah, it's sort of like, it's weird how it works because the flow of things is D&C 3, which is sort of the earliest revelation in the doctrine

covenants, deals with this. And then you take a break and you run around with Joseph Smith Sr. and Oliver Cowdery for a couple sections. And then you return back to this, which is the other major section. In fact, a lot of times when I

taught this, I would teach DNC3 and DNC10 right next to each other because they deal with the same

thing, basically. Yeah, so maybe that's the first question to begin without the shoot is like,

why is there a gap between DNC3 and DNC 10? Or a better way to ask it might be, what happened so that DNC 10 came about,

what question was on the mind, where was Joseph in the timeline of translating the Book of Mormon

when this came about?

Do you want to come in right there, Casey?

Tell us why there is that gap.

We've emphasized this over the last couple episodes, but the big picture on Book of Mormon

translation is really that there's sort of two major phases of book emphasize this over the last couple episodes, but the big picture on Book of Mormon translation

Phase one is the winter of 1828, where Martin Harris and Joseph Smith are working together.

That one kind of goes up until June of 1828.
