In speaking with the Prophet Joseph once [on the subject to the last days] he traced it from the first down to the last…. He wished me to write something for him on this subject, but I found it a very difficult thing to do. He had to correct me several times…. I wrote it again, and again he said it was not right. It is very difficult to find language to convey the meaning of spiritual things.
John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, 18:330, as quoted in "A Plainer Translation": Joseph Smith's Translation of the Bible, a History and commentary, by Robert J. Matthews. Brigham Young University Press. 1975. p.216
