When this work first came into the hands of Orson Pratt, he and his wife Sarah stayed up until 2 am in the morning reading and comparing it to the KJV and Orson said Sarah, These men have done their work honestly! This translation is just as it was left by the Prophet Joseph in 1833. I could quickly have detected it had they tampered with or altered what he wrote. I am delighted with it, and I thank God that I have received this copy! (A Plainer Translation Joseph Smiths Translation of the Bible: A History and Commentary, by Matthews, BYU Press, p. 228) Editions by other publishers have made some changes to the Joseph Smith, Jr. translation and have reverted back to the KJV text. This 1867 1st Edition facsimile is as close to the original Joseph Smith Jr. translation text as you can get! This book has the FULL COMPLETE TEXT of the Old and New Testaments, translations included, this is not just the side-by-side comparison of only the changed verses, which cannot be read in context.
