INTRODUCTION
In early 1831, most of the Saints living in New York, including Joseph Smith, migrated to Ohio to join a large group of recently baptized converts there. Church leaders sought direction from the Lord concerning the growing Church. The Prophet Joseph Smith received a revelation, which is now recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 42:1–73, in the presence of 12 elders. In this revelation, the Lord introduced temporal, economic, and spiritual laws directing Church members to help the poor, finance various Church undertakings, and assist other Saints who came to Ohio.
