2 Nephi 16:8 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
then I said here [NULL >js am 1| A|am BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] I send me

Isaiah 6:8 (King James Bible) then said I here am I send me

As already discussed under 2 Nephi 13:14, the King James italicized am is often missing in the corresponding Book of Mormon quotation. Also see the discussion in 2 Nephi 16:5, where the italicized am was omitted in the original Book of Mormon text while the nonitalicized am was retained. The critical text will retain the original “here I” in 2 Nephi 16:8.
