Notes
- ↑ The correct pronunciation in English is Kăl-dēʹ-ǝn. The Hebrew kaśdîm does not reflect directly the neo-Assyrian/Babylonian spelling kaldū. In this time period (Iron Age and earlier) Assyrian/Babylonian –šd- had shifted to -ld-. The Hebrew text may have managed to preserve the older pronunciation. Or, it may have invented a pseudo archaism. The Book of Mormon form no doubt reflects the King James Bible rendering and not necessarily what might have been on the plates.
