Why is this significant? According to "Time Sequence of the New Translation" in Joseph Smith's Translation of the Bible: Electronic Library (2010) Matt 1:1-9:1 (MS 1) was produced between March 8 and April 7, 1831, and Matthew 1:1-9:1 (MS 2) was produced between April 4 and 7, 1831, all pre-dating the reception of D&C 84. Why is this significant? It shows that Joseph Smith knew that Old Testament Jeremiah and New Testament Jeremy was the same person (cf. “Jeremy” [used for another person with the name ‘Jeremiah’] in D&C 84:9-10).
