Variant spelling of JAROM

-Jarom 1:14

P: Joram

A: Jarom

Discussion: Spelled Joram by Oliver Cowdery in P, as a mere switching of vowels. This could be because of Jordan, or the less familiar biblical name Joram.

Summary: Joram is a mere scribal error; Skousen accepts Jarom

Other occurrences not discussed in ATV: Jarom 1:1; Omni 1:1
