In a revelation the Prophet Joseph Smith received for Martin Harris, it says And again, I command thee that thou shalt not covet thine own property, but impart it freely to the printing of the Book of Mormon, which contains the truth and the word of God— Doctrine and Covenants 19:26 [...]

“And he [Joseph Smith] has translated the book…and as your Lord and your God liveth it is true.” D&C 17:6 With the Lord’s help Joseph Smith translated The Book of Mormon in less than 86 days (531 pages).
