The following is A true copy of A Revelation given dated
Winter Quarters camp of Israel Jan 14^th 1847 [Doctrine and Covenants 136:1-10]

The word and will of the Lord concerning the camp of Israel
In their journeyings to the west

Let all the people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day
Saints, and those who journey with them, be organized into companies
with a covenant and promise to keep all the commandments and
statutes of the Lord our God: Let the companies be organized
with Captains of Hundreds, Captains of Fifties, and Captains of Tens
with A President & his two councillors at their head, under
the direction of the Twelve Apostles: And this shall be our covenant
that we will walk in all the ordinances of the Lord.

Let each company provide themselves with all the Teams, waggons
provisions, clothing, and other necessaries for the journey that they
can. When the companies are organized let them go to with
their might to prepare for those who are to tarry.

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 puting
in spring crops.

Let each company bear an equal
proportion, according to the dividend of their property, in taking
the poor, the widows, the Fatherless, and the families of those
who have gone into the Armey, that the cries of the widow
and the Fatherless come not up into the ears of the Lord against
this people.

Let each company prepare houses, and fields
for raising grain, for those who are to remain behind this season,
and this is the will of the Lord concerning his people; Let every
man use all his influence and property, to remove this people
to the place whare the Lord shall locate a stake of Zion;
