CHAPTER 1

(June 1830)

31 And behold, the glory of the Lord was upon Moses, so that Moses stood in the presence of God, and talked with him ^aface to face. And the Lord God said unto Moses: For mine own ^bpurpose have I made these things. Here is ^cwisdom and it remaineth in me.

Footnotes

31a	Deut. 5: 4. 4 The Lord talked with you ^aface to face in the mount out of the midst of the ^bfire, Moses 1: 11. 11 But now mine own eyes have ^abeheld God; but not my ^bnatural, but my ^cspiritual eyes, for my ^dnatural eyes could not have ^ebeheld; for I should have ^fwithered and ^gdied in his presence; but his ^hglory was upon me; and I beheld his ⁱface, for I was ^jtransfigured before him.
b	Isa. 45: 18 (17-18) 18 For thus saith the Lord that ^acreated the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be ^binhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. Eph. 3: 11 (7-12) 11 According to the eternal ^apurpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 2 Ne. 2: 15 (14-30) 15 And to bring about his eternal ^apurposes in the end of man, after he had ^bcreated our first parents, and the beasts of the field and the ^cfowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the ^dforbidden ^efruit in ^fopposition to the ^gtree of life; the one being sweet and the other bitter.
