1 Nephi 13:15 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
they did prosper and obtain the land [ for 01BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST|of A] their inheritance

The 1830 compositor accidentally replaced the preposition for with of, undoubtedly because “the land of one’s inheritance” is considerably more frequent than “the land for one’s inheritance” (38 times versus 10 times). The correct for was restored in the 1837 edition.

Summary: Maintain the original “for their inheritance” in 1 Nephi 13:15.
