The Joseph Smith Translation
by David R. Hocking
This extraordinary volume brings together the foundational texts of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy with the entire Joseph Smith Translation (JST) seamlessly integrated into the scriptural narrative. For Latter-day Saint readers, teachers, and students, this creates a uniquely clear, richly informed view of the Restoration’s earliest revelations about the Creation, the Patriarchs, the Abrahamic Covenant, priesthood lineage, the Exodus story, temple imagery, and the Law of Moses.
What makes this edition truly remarkable is that it also includes the relevant portions of the Pearl of Great Price placed directly in context, allowing readers to see how these Restoration scriptures illuminate and expand our understanding of the earliest biblical accounts. There is no other edition like this anywhere—nothing else gathers these texts in such a coherent, study-friendly, and spiritually insightful way.And beyond its doctrinal and scholarly depth, this volume is a work of art. Produced with a premium leatherette cover, gold embossing, and gilded page edges, it’s designed to last for generations. It is the kind of book that feels as substantial as the truths it contains—an heirloom-quality treasure for any Latter-day Saint home, study group, or classroom.
As the Church turns its attention once again to the Old Testament in 2026, this annotated edition stands as the perfect gift, the perfect study companion, and the perfect teaching tool. Whether for personal edification or classroom instruction, it opens the scriptures in ways that are both profound and accessible.
If you want one resource that will transform your Old Testament study next year—this is it.
