Murdock, and my servant Hyrum Smith, take their journey unto the same place, by the way of Detroit.
DC 96:Intro SECTION 96
Revelation given through Joseph Smith, Jr., to Elder John
Murdock, on august 1832, at Kirtland, Ohio.
Murdock's wife Julia had died on April 30, 1831, after giving birth that day to twins, Julia and Joseph. Joseph and Emma Smith soon adopted these twins. In 1832
Murdock sent his older three children (with means for their support) to Bishop Edward Partridge in Missouri, and in April 1833 left for a mission to the eastern part of the United States.
Through an oversight the date "August 1833" was assigned to this revelation in the 1864 edition; hence the number "96," when it should have been "83."
DC 96:1a Behold, thus saith the Lord unto my servant John
