Another early manuscript copy of the revelation, in unidentified handwriting, also begins with the heading “Revelation given the same day.” However, that copy has a different secondary headnote—“On the disposeal of the property of the Church”—which the unidentified scribe apparently inserted after copying the revelation. This difference suggests that Robinson added the headnote in the featured copy when he inscribed it in JS’s journal—a practice he apparently followed with the other 8 July revelations when he copied them into the journal.

It is unclear whether the high council included the pro tempore Zion presidency at Far West, which ordinarily presided over the council,a or whether the First Presidency was to preside directly over the body of twelve counselors, as the presidency had in Kirtland.b When the Zion high council met on 31 August 1838, Sidney Rigdon and Hyrum Smith presided directly over the twelve counselors; the Zion presidency was apparently not present. This was the last high council meeting recorded before JS was taken prisoner by Missouri officials in November 1838.c
