I am reading some LDS church material and I found something I do not understand. I was hoping for some help with this text. I am reading Old Testament: Class Member Study Guide. I believe there may be more than one version of this publication so to narrow it down, a description of the image shown on the front cover states: Hannah Presenting Her Son Samuel to Eli, by Robert T. Barrett. My question is this: On page 2 of that study guide, at the bottom of the page, there is a section with the title: This Is My Work and My Glory. Following that title, there are three sections, a. Moses, b. Moses, and c. Moses. I do not know what the name Moses refers to. It is not a chapter in the Old Testament or the New Testament and it is not anything in the Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants, or The Pearl of Great Price. It is my hope that you can point me in the right direction to identify and then read Moses, whatever it may be.
