The most holy book of ancient Scripture. Lost
almost 3,000 years; until 1850, when translated by James J. Strang from a public
copy used before captivity in Babylon. Originally published in 1851, on Beaver Island, James J. Strang wrote of this book, "of all the lost books the most important was the Book of the Law of the Lord. This book was kept in the ark of the covenant, and was held too sacred to go into the hands of strangers. When the Septuagint translation was made, the Book of the Law was kept back, and the Book lost to the Jewish nation in the time that they were subject to foreign powers. The various books in the Pentateuch, containing abstracts of some of the laws, have been read instead of it, until even the existence of the book has come to be a matter of doubt. "It is from an authorized copy of that book, written on metallick plates long previous to the Babylonish captivity, that this translation is made. And being made by the same spirit by which the words were originally dictated, it is beyond doubt as perfect as the language will admit of. It includes the only surviving copy of the Ten Commandments; which were given to Moses. The Book of the Law is noted by name over twenty times in the Bible. It contains the law of God on the most important subjects of God, man, doctrine, and the will of God. Its loss was a major blow to canonizing the various books of Scripture into the Bible by Constantine. Its restoration by James J. Strang was possibly the greatest work of his life; and the most valuable book of Scripture for all Christians and Jews. 2000 Edition, by Samuel E. West.
