Variant spelling of MANASSEH

- 2 Nephi 19:21a

P: Mannassah >jg Mannasseh

- 2 Nephi 19:21b

P: Mannassah

- Alma 10:3

P: Manassah

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.

Summary: Manasseh, the KJV spelling, is correct
