This statement from the famous business mogul comes from an article written by Harvard instructor Carmine Gallo for Business Insider.
Historians generally agree Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon in about 65 - 70 working days. The Book of Mormon as published by the Church today has 531 pages. This means the young prophet Joseph in 1829 dictated text to his scribes at the torrid pace of 7.5 to 8.1 pages per day. What Joseph accomplished is superhuman by Bezos' standard, "a marvellous work and a wonder" according to the ancient prophet, Isaiah (Isaiah 29:14).
