Mosiah 1:10 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
for on the morrow I shall proclaim unto this my people out of [mine 1ABCEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST|my D] own mouth that thou art a king

As discussed under Omni 1:10, there has been some tendency in the 1841 British edition to replace the archaic use of mine with my when followed by own. In this particular instance, the subsequent LDS edition (1849) restored the original mine.

Summary: Maintain the use of mine before own in Mosiah 1:10 (“out of mine own mouth”, the reading of the earliest textual sources).
