"The Church’s expansion into Missouri and Bishop Edward Partridge’s relocation there created a need for another bishop to be called in Ohio. On December 4, 1831, the Prophet Joseph Smith received three revelations, which are combined in Doctrine and Covenants 72. These revelations made known the calling of Newel K. Whitney as the new bishop in Ohio, revealed some of Bishop Whitney’s duties, and gave instructions concerning the gathering to Zion. The revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 73, given in January 1832, contains the Lord’s direction to Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon to recommence their work on the translation of the Bible. The revelation in Doctrine and Covenants 74 was received in 1830, before the Church was restored. It contains the Lord’s explanation of 1 Corinthians 7:14, a scripture that had been used by some people to justify infant baptism." [Introduction from the online lesson at lds.org]
