The reference "5:58" appears in several different biblical and scriptural books. The most common interpretations are:
Isaiah 58:5 (Old Testament): This verse questions whether superficial acts of humility, such as bowing one’s head like a reed or lying in sackcloth and ashes, constitute a true fast acceptable to the Lord.

1 Esdras 5:58 (Apocrypha/Deuterocanon): This verse describes the restoration of the temple, noting that Levites aged twenty or older were appointed over the works of the Lord. It details how Jesus (Jeshua), his sons, Cadmiel, and other Levites worked together to advance the building of God’s house.
1 Corinthians 15:58 (New Testament): This is the concluding verse of Paul's letter, urging believers to be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, because their labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Moses 5:58 (Latter Day Saint scripture): This verse states that the Gospel was preached from the beginning, declared by angels and the voice of God, and that those who believed in the words of the holy prophets through the gift of the Holy Ghost would have eternal life.
