2 Nephi 20:28 Textual Variants

Isaiah 10:28 (King James Bible) at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages

The 1908 RLDS edition accidentally replaced the adverbial up with the preposition upon, which completely changes the meaning of the text (the original phrasal verb lay up means ‘to store’). The 1953 RLDS edition originally continued this reading, but some more recent printings of that edition have restored the correct up, the reading of the King James Bible.

Summary: Maintain the original laid up in 2 Nephi 20:28.
