Alma 4:12 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
yea seeing great [unequality 1|inequality ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] among the people

As discussed under Mosiah 29:32, the original text used the archaic (or dialectal) unequality rather than the standard inequality. The 1830 typesetter systematically corrected the text towards the standard inequality. The critical text will maintain unequality, the consistent reading of the manuscripts. See Alma 4:15 for another example in this chapter.
