Another revelation is given by Joseph Smith on polygamy. The text is available but is not canonized or officially published. In the revelation Newell K Whitney is instructed to marry his seventeen-year-old daughter, Sarah Ann, to thirty-six-year-old Joseph Smith. Whitney performs the ceremony using words provided in the revelation which include, "I give you S. A. Whitney my Daughter to Joseph Smith to be his wife to observe all the rights between you both that belong to that condition."
