And that's the book of Abraham. So Joseph spends time translating that eventually seven years later when he's in Navu he'll publish that in the church's newspaper called The Times in Seasons.
And that's probably worth at least commenting on that for for many people it is a stumbling block because there are a lot of people who are are taking inaccurate stories or really simplistic stories about this process and throwing it out there and saying look this can't work in every case they're either withholding information or simplify it in a ridiculous way.
And and that when people get the the miss or simplified information sometimes they struggle when you get the full story my experiences that when when people get everything that then it really strengthens their testimony and you really come to understand and appreciate Joseph Smith all the more.
I don't care where it came from this is a revelation. I don't know how it happened to how translation or pure revelation or papyrus whatever but it's clear this is truth and revelation and powerful stuff.
