TRANSLATED FROM THE PAPYRUS, BY JOSEPH SMITH

CHAPTER 2

7 For I am the Lord thy God; I dwell in ^aheaven; the earth is my ^bfootstool; I stretch my hand over the sea, and it obeys my voice; I cause the wind and the fire to be my ^cchariot; I say to the mountains—Depart hence—and behold, they are taken away by a whirlwind, in an instant, suddenly.
