Variant Spelling of NAZARETH
1 Nephi 11:13a
- O: nathareth
- P, 1830-1981: Nazareth
1 Nephi 11:13b
- O: nathareth
- P, 1830-1981: Nazareth
- 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.
