Jershon Variant

Variant spelling of JERSHON

-Alma 27:22b

O: Jershur > Jershon

-Alma 28:1

P: Jeshon

Discussion: Spelled Jershur (perhaps because of preceding -er sound), then immediately corrected by Cowdery in O. This is the only time Jershon was ever misspelled in O; Cowdery only misspelled Jershon once in P, where in Alma 28:1 he spelled it as Jeshon.

Summary: These two variations are just scribal errors; maintain correct Jershon
