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.
