The difficult financial circumstances of Joseph's family during the Book of Mormon translation are well known.[1] There is no evidence that Joseph owned a Bible during the Book of Mormon translation.[2] In fact, Oliver would later purchase a Bible for Joseph, who used it in producing his revision of the Bible (which became known as the Joseph Smith Translation). This purchase occurred on 8 October 1829, from the same printer that was then setting the type for the already-translated Book of Mormon.[3] Why would Joseph, poor as he was, get a Bible if he already owned one?
