Variant spelling of MANASSEH

2 Nephi 19:21a

P: Mannassah >jg Mannasseh
1830-1981: Manasseh

2 Nephi 19:21b

P: Mannassah
1830-1981: Manasseh

2 Nephi 19:21a

P: Mannassah >jg Mannasseh
1830-1981: Manasseh

Alma 10:3

P: Manassah
830-1981: Manasseh
Discussion: The first occurrence was spelled Mannassah by Cowdery in P; it was later incorrectly "corrected" by John Gilbert to Mannasseh in P. The second occurrence is the same, except that John Gilbert did not "correct" it. Scribe 2 misspelled the third occurrence in P as Manassah.
