  Marriage of Joseph Smith and Emma Hale
Emma was vehemently opposed to plural wives for her husband, hence the need Joseph had for this "official revelation" to be made a church-wide, macrocosmic commandment to "justify" his adulteries.
Emma, being synonymous with "them," will be told all the "things" Joseph chooses to reveal, with the condition that she reflect his mind, and only "receive" what he "gives" her.
The means for controlling Emma in marriage (the microcosm), was the same means Joseph used for controlling all the members in his church (the macrocosm of the Old Testament).

 Emma Hale Smith - Definition, explanation
Emma Hale Smith (July 101804 - April 301879) was the wife of Joseph Smith, Jr and was an early leader of the Latter Day Saint movement in her own right.
Smith lived near Palmyra, New York, but boarded with the Hales in Harmony while he was employed as a "seer" (or a "glass-looker") in a company of men hoping to unearth buried treasure.
Emma's continuing public denial of the practice seemed to lend strength to their cause, and opposition to polygamy became a tenant of the Reorganized church (now known as Community of Christ).

Smith came on but to get clear of the work, and the debt, said: "If I kneel down and pray in your corn, it will grow just as well as if hoed." So he prayed in the corn, and insured its maturity without cultivation, and that the frost would not hurt it.

 Mormon Enigma:Emma Smith, prophet's wife,polygamy's foe - Book Review on life of Emma Smith
The authors present a mountain of evidence to dismiss the negative picture of Emma as strong-willed and shrewish — a caricature spawned by Brigham Young, who deeply resented Emma's adamant rejection of polygamy, and feared the refusal of the slain prophet's widow to make the journey to Utah would harm the vulnerable sect.
It is striking to learn that while Emma was polygamy's tireless foe, she was neither a prudish nor judgmental woman.
While Emma Smith is the central character in this book, it also marshals damning evidence against the duplicitous character of her first husband.

 An Introduction to Joseph Smith Jr.
This lowered Smith's habeas corpus shield and made him liable for trial in courts outside Nauvoo, prompting state authorities to take him into custody—a process that concluded in late June 1844 when authorities arrested Smith and escorted him to jail in Carthage, Illinois, to stand trial.
Joseph Smith's widow, Emma Hale, and members of the family rejected the bold steps of one of Smith's associates, Brigham Young, who as president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles entered the leadership vacuum created by the prophet's death.
However, Smith's esoteric theology crystallized as those under Young moved from private to public profession of practices that had caused controversy in Nauvoo, while those who stood by Emma and her sons chose to emphasize the Kirtland experience.
