Nazareth / nathareth Variants

Variant Spelling of NAZARETH

- 1 Nephi 11:13 (2x)

O: nathareth

Discussion: This place was spelled nathareth twice by Scribe 3 in O. It is possible that this spelling represents the original pronunciation of this name, or at least at Nephi's time (assuming it existed then). Or the scribe merely anticipated the final -th early, or mispronounced the name.

Summary: Maintain KJV spelling Nazareth
