Ezekiel 13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by
promising him life;
Alma 20:93 Now Zerahemnah, when he saw that they were all about to be destroyed, cried mightily unto Moroni,
promising that he would covenant, and also his people, with them, if they would spare the remainder of their lives, that they never would come to war against them.
DC 2:Intro SECTION 2
By July 1828 a total of 116 pages of the Book of Mormon manuscript had been translated. Martin Harris served as Joseph's scribe at this time and wrote most of the translation. To quiet the ridicule of some of his relatives, Martin borrowed the manuscript,
promising to preserve it with the utmost care, but the foolscap sheets were stolen from him and never recovered. Under these circumstances the following instruction and rebuke were given to Joseph. The revelation was received at Harmony, Pennsylvania, in July 1828.
