1 Transcript of William I. Appleby s Journal Entry, 5 May 1841, Pages (WA) Editorial Note WA, catalogued as MS 1401 in the Church History Library, contains Abraham 1:15 31; dated 5 May 1841 (but see below); handwriting of William I. Appleby; 3 lined pages in journal. WA contains the exact paragraph numbering as the first installment in the Times and Seasons, suggesting that Appleby inserted the Abraham text after its publication in This is quite possible, as Appleby used the word insert here and in other entries in his journal when he provides additional material. Many of the insertions in his journal, including the Abraham text, likely coincide with Appleby s later efforts to produce his memoirs. Because the text exhibits some minor variation from the Times and Seasons and the Abraham manuscripts, it is included in this study. However, if Appleby backdated the entry and merely copied the text from the Times and Seasons, it would be of negligible significance to the textual history of the Book of Abraham. To give further context to the Abraham material in Appleby s journal, more of the journal entry is included in appendix 4.

Abram! behold, my name is Jehovah, and 7 I have heard thee, and have come down to delivir thee, and to take thee 8 away from thy Fathers house, and from all thy kinsfolks into a strange 9 land, which thou knowest not of, and this because they have turned their 10 hearts away from me, to worship the God of Elkenah, and the God 11 of Libnah, and the God of Mahmackrah, and the God of Korash. 12 and the God of Pharaoh King of Egypt: therefore I have come down to 13 visit them, and to destroy him, who hath lifted up his hand against thee 14 Abram, my son, to take away thy life, Behold I will lead thee by my 15 hand, and I will take thee, to put upon thee, my name, even the Prie- 16 -sthood of thy Father, and my power shall be over thee, as it was with 17 Noah, so shall it be with thee, that through thy ministry, my name 17 shall be known in the Earth forever, fore I am thy God Behold Potipha{r r s} Hill was in the land of Ur. of Ch{a}ldea; and 19 the Lord broke down the Altar of Elkenah, and of the Gods of the land 1 Paragraph 5 corresponds to paragraph 5 in Times and Seasons 18 Paragraph 6 corresponds to paragraph 6 in Times and Seasons
