180 years ago today - January 1832 (after 10 January and before 25 January)

[General] Section 74, Place: Hiram, Portage County, Ohio.

Historical Note: Section 73, received 10 January 1832, had commanded Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon to resume the translation of the Bible. They had done so. While no available statement definitely connects section 74 with the translation of the Bible, the implication is certainly very strong: Section 74 is an explanation of 1 Cor. 7:14.

Publication Note. Section 74 was first published as the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants.
