SECTION 126
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, in the house of Brigham Young, at Nauvoo, Illinois, July 9, 1841. HC 4: 382. At this time Brigham Young was president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

1-3, Brigham Young is commended for his labors and is relieved of future travel abroad.

  1 Dear and well-beloved brother, Brigham Young, verily thus saith the Lord unto you: My servant Brigham, it is no more required at your hand to leave your family as in times past, for your offering is acceptable to me.

  2 I have seen your labor and toil in journeyings for my name.

  3 I therefore command you to send my word abroad, and take especial care of your family from this time, henceforth and forever. Amen.
