20  Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

  2  Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

  26  For this shall be a law unto the inhabitants of Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized.

  1  And again, verily I say unto you, my friends, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall commence a work of laying out and preparing a beginning and foundation of the city of the ^bstake of Zion, here in the land of Kirtland, beginning at my house.

  21  Until the day cometh when there is found no more room for them; and then I have other places which I will appoint unto them, and they shall be called ^astakes, for the curtains or the strength of Zion.

  48  After you are organized, you shall be called the United Order of the ^aStake of Zion, the City of Kirtland. And your brethren, after they are organized, shall be called the United Order of the City of Zion.

  7  And this shall be an ensample unto all the ^astakes of Zion. Even so. Amen.
