Alma 26:22 Textual Variants

𝓞 is extant here and reads “things which never have been revealed”—that is, the negative adverb never precedes the entire verb phrase, “have been revealed”. When copying from 𝓞 into 𝓟, Oliver Cowdery started to write “things which have never been revealed”, but he caught his error after writing which have (and perhaps the word never). Virtually immediately he crossed out the have and then continued inline after never with the full verb phrase, “have been revealed”. Either order is possible:

never have

• Alma 10:5 I never have known much of the ways of the Lord
• Helaman 14:5 such an one as ye never have beheld

have never

• Alma 24:16 as a testimony that we have never used them
• Alma 30:33 I have never received so much as even one senine for my labor
