3 Nephi 25:2 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
but unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing [in 1ABCEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST|on D] his wings

Malachi 4:2 (King James Bible) but unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings

Once more the typesetter for the 1841 British edition misread a small word; in this instance, he replaced the preposition in with on. The subsequent LDS edition in 1849 restored the correct in, which is also the King James reading.

Summary: Maintain in 3 Nephi 25:2 the preposition in for the phrase “in his wings”; both 𝓟 and the 1830 edition (as well as the King James Bible) support the in.
