Elect Lady Revelation

A few weeks after Emma's baptism in June 1830, the following revelation was given through Joseph Smith at Harmony, Pennsylvania. [1] It is the only revelation addressed solely to a woman. [2]

. . .Behold, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou art an elect lady, whom I have called. . . .And thou shalt be ordained under his hand to expound scriptures, and to exhort the church. . . . And it shall be given thee, also, to make a selection of sacred Hymns, as it shall be given thee, which is pleasing unto me, to be had in my church: For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart: Yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me. [3]

The revelation was first printed in the Book of Commandments, 1833 (See transcription of full revelation as first printed).
