What evidence is there that Joseph Smith’s latter-day work blessed the seed of Joseph of old?

Thomas R. Valletta

“We praise [Joseph Smith] for his capacity to commune not only with Jehovah but also with other personages of heaven. So many visited, gave keys, and tutored that ‘choice seer’ raised up in the latter days (see 2 Nephi 3:6–7). When Father Smith blessed young Joseph in 1834, he declared that ancient Joseph in Egypt saw this latter-day seer. Ancient Joseph wept when he realized how the work of the Prophet Joseph would bless the earlier Joseph’s numerous posterity” (Teachings of Howard W. Hunter, 190).
