Isaiah 29:13 (King James Bible) and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men
Once more we have the question of whether the Book of Mormon text should read towards or follow the King James toward. Here the earliest Book of Mormon sources have the form towards. It should be noted, however, that here the original 1611 King James Bible actually read towards rather than toward.
The 1874 RLDS edition introduced the form toward, but this form was removed from the RLDS text in the 1908 edition, probably because the printer’s manuscript reads towards. For two other cases where the 1874 edition replaced towards with toward, see Mosiah 20:20 and Alma 62:14.
In the discussion under 1 Nephi 5:22, it was determined that the critical text should in each case follow the earliest textual sources in determining whether the text should read towards or toward. Usually the textual sources favor towards, even in Isaiah quotations (see the discussion under 2 Nephi 17:1).
Summary: Retain towards in 2 Nephi 27:25, a biblical quote from Isaiah 29:13; towards is the expected Book of Mormon form for this word, even though the standard King James text has toward.
