Discussion: Spelled Jershur (perhaps because of preceding -''er'' sound), then immediately corrected by Cowdery in O. This is the only time Jershon was ever misspelled in O; Cowdery only misspelled Jerson once in P, where in [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/28.1?lang=eng#primary Alma 28:1] he spelled it as Jeshon.

Summary: These two variantions are just scribal errors; maintain correct Jershon.
