What is the Joseph Smith Translation?

The Short Answer

It's Joseph Smith's inspired revisions to the Bible. He didn't change everything — he updated specific passages where the Lord showed him something was missing or off. A lot of those changes appear in our footnotes and in the Pearl of Great Price.
