Variant Spellings of MULEK

Mosiah 25:2
P: Muloch
1830-1858: Mulok

Helaman 6:10b

Discussion: Spelled Muloch in P; and Mulok from the 1830 edition until Orson Pratt's revision in the 1879 edition to Mulek. The scribes often changed ch to k in the text, but never k to ch.

Summary: Skousen thinks the personage should be Muloch; he makes no such statement concerning the city.
