Variant Spellings of MIDIAN
Mideon
- 2 Nephi 20:26
- P: Mideon
- 1830-1981: Midian
Discussion: This name was probably mispelled because of the name Gideon.
Summary: A scribal error; KJV Midian is correct.
Source: ATV 2:757-58, 6:3579.
Medeon
- Alma 24:5
- O: Medeon >+ Midian
- P: Midion >+ Midian
- 1830-1981: Midian
Discussion: Spelled Medeon but later corrected to Midian in O; Midion first then Midian in P. It could be that Cowdery heard Joseph Smith wrong because of the stress the name was given, or that Joseph Smith misread the name Middoni as if it read Middion.
Summary: Skousen thinks should read as Middoni.
Source: ATV 4:2101-4.
