		Which version came first?
		The versions in the Evening and Morning Star (first column) and in the Kirtland Revelations Book (second column) were produced the same year (1832). The Star was published in July, but we don't know the month or day that the KRB version was written. Both versions are copies, so regardless of which was produced first, we don't know which is closer to the "original."
		But by comparing the changes, can we tell whether the EMS or KRB is closer to the 1835 D&C? This might suggest an evolution from the "earliest" to the "middle" to the final (D&C) version.
		Priority of KRB
		There are 31 instances in which Star and D&C agree against KRB, suggesting the Star is closer to the D&C, and KRB is therefore earlier. These instances are in purple except one occurrence of a word present in Star and D&C but missing in KRB. Roughly 40% (12) of these occur in the first 47% (56) of the revelation; 60% (19) occur in the last 43%.
		In 1 instance KRB omits a word (he) that is present in the Star and is also omitted in the D&C. There is also 1 instance of unto in Star given as to in the KRB and D&C. These are in blue in the KRB (second column).

		Note: Green/Red favors EMS; Purple favors KRB

		Priority of EMS
		Twenty-two times KRB ~~strikes out~~ text consistent with the Star and inserts new text which is also present in the D&C. All occur in the first 40% (48) of verses.
