| − | === Verse 16 ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * ''Idolatry.'' Idolatry seems only to be mentioned one other time in the Doctrine and Covenants ([[D&C 52:39]]), although it is a prominent theme of earlier prophets (see the [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bd/i/2 Bible Dictionary] and [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/tg/i/3 Topical Guide] entries). One reason the otherwise infrequent reference to idolatry may be given here is that in the subsequent verses Joseph's call as a prophet is given and explained. Idolatry then serves as a rhetorical device linking Joseph's prophetic calling to the common theme of idolatry spoken against by many former prophets. Related themes, such as worldliness, riches, vanity, pride, etc. are discussed at length in the Doctrine and Covenants, but in terms other than idolatry per se, thus making the occurrence here notable.

| − | ''Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves, such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word. In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources are preferable to footnotes.''
