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.
