This is a Latter-day Saint (Mormon) scriptural text — a revelation recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants tradition, dictated through Joseph Smith in Kirtland, Ohio in 1833. Its content is primarily administrative and architectural: God commands the early Mormon community to begin laying out the city of Zion's stake in Kirtland, starting with two specific buildings. The first is a 55-by-65-foot house for the presidency, dedicated to receiving revelations and conducting church governance; the second, identical in dimensions, is designated for printing the translation of the scriptures. The text also assigns specific land lots to named individuals — Hyrum Smith, Reynolds Cahoon, and Jared Carter — the latter two appointed as a building committee. A distinctive feature is the conditional divine presence clause: God's glory will inhabit the presidency house only if it remains ritually clean, making purity a prerequisite for revelation. The revelation is notably practical and specific rather than doctrinal, functioning more as a divine building permit and urban planning directive than theological instruction.
