The
Word
and
a
Will
of
the
Lord
concerning
the
Camp
of
b
Israel
in
their
journeyings
to
the
West:
2 Let
all
the
people
of
a
The
a
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints,
and
those
who
journey
with
them,
be
organized
into
companies,
with
a
covenant
and
promise
to
b
keep
all
the
commandments
and
statutes
of
the
Lord
our
God.
3 Let
the
companies
be
organized
with
captains
of
a
hundreds,
captains
of
fifties,
and
captains
of
tens,
with
a
president
and
his
two
counselors
at
their
head,
under
the
direction
of
the
Twelve
b
Apostles.
4 And
this
shall
be
our
a
covenant—that
we
will
b
walk
in
all
the
c
ordinances
of
the
Lord.
5 Let
each
company
provide
themselves
with
all
the
teams,
wagons,
provisions,
clothing,
and
other
necessaries
for
the
journey,
that
they
can.
6 When
the
companies
are
organized
let
them
go
to
with
their
a
might,
to
prepare
for
those
who
are
to
tarry.
7 Let
each
company,
with
their
captains
and
presidents,
decide
how
many
can
go
next
spring;
then
choose
out
a
sufficient
number
of
able-bodied
and
expert
men,
to
take
teams,
seeds,
and
farming
utensils,
to
go
as
pioneers
to
prepare
for
putting
in
spring
crops.
8 Let
each
company
a
bear
an
equal
proportion,
according
to
the
dividend
of
their
property,
in
taking
the
poor,
the
b
widows,
the
c
fatherless,
and
the
families
of
those
who
have
gone
into
the
army,
that
the
cries
of
the
widow
and
the
d
fatherless
come
not
up
into
the
ears
of
the
Lord
against
this
people.
9 Let
each
company
prepare
houses,
and
fields
for
raising
a
grain,
for
those
who
are
to
remain
behind
this
season;
and
this
is
the
will
of
the
Lord
concerning
his
people.
10 Let
every
man
use
all
his
influence
and
property
to
remove
this
people
to
the
place
where
the
Lord
shall
locate
a
a
stake
of
Zion.
11 And
if
ye
do
this
with
a
pure
heart,
in
all
faithfulness,
ye
shall
be
blessed;
you
shall
be
a
blessed
in
your
flocks,
and
in
your
herds,
and
in
your
fields,
and
in
your
houses,
and
in
your
families.
12 Let
my
servants
Ezra
T.
Benson
and
Erastus
Snow
organize
a
company.
13 And
let
my
servants
Orson
Pratt
and
Wilford
Woodruff
organize
a
company.
14 Also,
let
my
servants
Amasa
Lyman
and
George
A.
Smith
organize
a
company.
15 And
appoint
presidents,
and
a
captains
of
hundreds,
and
of
fifties,
and
of
tens.
16 And
let
my
servants
that
have
been
appointed
go
and
a
teach
this,
my
will,
to
the
saints,
that
they
may
be
ready
to
go
to
a
land
of
peace.
17 Go
thy
way
and
do
as
I
have
told
you,
and
a
fear
not
thine
enemies;
for
they
shall
not
have
power
to
stop
my
work.
18 Zion
shall
be
a
redeemed
in
mine
own
due
time.
19 And
if
any
man
shall
seek
to
build
up
himself,
and
seeketh
not
my
a
counsel,
he
shall
have
no
power,
and
his
b
folly
shall
be
made
manifest.
20
a
Seek
ye;
and
keep
all
your
b
pledges
one
with
another;
and
c
covet
not
that
which
is
thy
brother's.
21
a
Keep
yourselves
from
evil
to
take
the
name
of
the
Lord
in
vain,
for
I
am
the
Lord
your
God,
even
the
b
God
of
your
fathers,
the
God
of
Abraham
and
of
Isaac
and
of
Jacob.
22 I
am
he
who
a
led
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
and
my
arm
is
stretched
out
in
the
last
days,
to
b
save
my
people
Israel.
23 Cease
to
a
contend
one
with
another;
cease
to
speak
b
evil
one
of
another.
24 Cease
a
drunkenness;
and
let
your
words
tend
to
b
edifying
one
another.
25 If
thou
a
borrowest
of
thy
b
neighbor,
thou
shalt
c
restore
that
which
thou
hast
borrowed;
and
if
thou
canst
not
repay
then
go
straightway
and
tell
thy
neighbor,
lest
he
condemn
thee.
26 If
thou
shalt
find
that
which
thy
neighbor
has
a
lost,
thou
shalt
make
diligent
search
till
thou
shalt
b
deliver
it
to
him
again.
27 Thou
shalt
be
a
diligent
in
b
preserving
what
thou
hast,
that
thou
mayest
be
a
wise
c
steward;
for
it
is
the
free
gift
of
the
Lord
thy
God,
and
thou
art
his
steward.
28 If
thou
art
a
merry,
b
praise
the
Lord
with
singing,
with
music,
with
c
dancing,
and
with
a
d
prayer
of
praise
and
e
thanksgiving.
29 If
thou
art
a
sorrowful,
call
on
the
Lord
thy
God
with
supplication,
that
your
souls
may
be
b
joyful.
30 Fear
not
thine
a
enemies,
for
they
are
in
mine
hands
and
I
will
do
my
pleasure
with
them.
31 My
people
must
be
a
tried
in
all
things,
that
they
may
be
prepared
to
receive
the
b
glory
that
I
have
for
them,
even
the
glory
of
Zion;
and
he
that
will
not
c
bear
chastisement
is
not
worthy
of
my
kingdom.
32 Let
him
that
is
a
ignorant
b
learn
c
wisdom
by
d
humbling
himself
and
calling
upon
the
Lord
his
God,
that
his
e
eyes
may
be
opened
that
he
may
see,
and
his
ears
opened
that
he
may
hear;
33 For
my
a
Spirit
is
sent
forth
into
the
world
to
enlighten
the
b
humble
and
contrite,
and
to
the
c
condemnation
of
the
ungodly.
34 Thy
brethren
have
rejected
you
and
your
testimony,
even
the
nation
that
has
a
driven
you
out;
35 And
now
cometh
the
day
of
their
calamity,
even
the
days
of
sorrow,
like
a
woman
that
is
taken
in
travail;
and
their
a
sorrow
shall
be
great
unless
they
speedily
repent,
yea,
very
speedily.
36 For
they
a
killed
the
prophets,
and
them
that
were
sent
unto
them;
and
they
have
b
shed
innocent
blood,
which
crieth
from
the
ground
against
them.
37 Therefore,
marvel
not
at
these
things,
for
ye
are
not
yet
a
pure;
ye
can
not
yet
bear
my
glory;
but
ye
shall
behold
it
if
ye
are
faithful
in
keeping
all
my
words
that
I
have
b
given
you,
from
the
days
of
Adam
to
Abraham,
from
Abraham
to
Moses,
from
Moses
to
Jesus
and
his
apostles,
and
from
Jesus
and
his
apostles
to
Joseph
Smith,
whom
I
did
call
upon
by
mine
c
angels,
my
ministering
servants,
and
by
mine
own
voice
out
of
the
heavens,
to
bring
forth
my
work;
38 Which
a
foundation
he
did
lay,
and
was
faithful;
and
I
took
him
to
myself.
39 Many
have
marveled
because
of
his
death;
but
it
was
needful
that
he
should
a
seal
his
b
testimony
with
his
c
blood,
that
he
might
be
d
honored
and
the
wicked
might
be
condemned.
40 Have
I
not
delivered
you
from
your
a
enemies,
only
in
that
I
have
left
a
witness
of
my
name?
41 Now,
therefore,
hearken,
O
ye
people
of
my
a
church;
and
ye
elders
listen
together;
you
have
received
my
b
kingdom.
42 Be
a
diligent
in
keeping
all
my
commandments,
lest
judgments
come
upon
you,
and
your
faith
fail
you,
and
your
enemies
triumph
over
you.
So
no
more
at
present.
Amen
and
Amen.
