[Patriarchal Blessings] Loren W. Babbitt. (Given by Joseph Smith, Sen.)

...the heavens shall be opened unto thee and the glory of thy god shall be shone unto thee and thou shall be usfull unto thy felowmen throught [throughout] the seventy years of thy life which thou might Live on the earth if thou disire but if not thou mayist sleep a little season in the dust and then rise with the just when the trumpet shall sound to call the sleeping saints from thare tombs to enjoy the kingdom with Christ on mount Zion a thousand years ...

    One of the rare PBs where JS-SR gets everything doctrinally correct.

    The days of our years are threescore years and ten [70]; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. (Psalm 90:10)
