The 138 sections and two declarations that constitute the Doctrine and Covenants were received or recorded in eight U.S. states.
The earliest portion, section 2 , comes from the angel Moroni’s visit to Joseph Smith during the night of Sept. 21, 1823.
The latest, Official Declaration 2 , is dated June 1, 1978. The revelation affirms the opportunity for men of all races to receive the priesthood.
