Discussion: In the Alma 12:21 occurrence, Cherabs was corrected to Cherabims by Scribe 2 in P, later Joseph Smith changed it to Cherabim in P. The 1830 typesetter set Cherubims in A, and Joseph Smith's change was not implemented until 1837. Cf. KJV cherubims ([ Genesis 3:24]).
General Summary: Skousen agrees with double-plural cherubims only because that is the KJV usage.
