2 Nephi 27:33 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
therefore thus saith the Lord who redeemed Abraham concerning [NULL > the house of 1|the house of ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] Jacob Jacob shall not now be ashamed neither shall his face [NULL > now 1|now ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] wax pale

Isaiah 29:22 (King James Bible) therefore thus saith the LORD who redeemed Abraham concerning the house of Jacob Jacob shall not now be ashamed neither shall his face now wax pale

In this verse, we have a couple of minor omissions in 𝓟 that Oliver Cowdery corrected almost immediately (there is no change in the level of the ink flow for the two supralinear insertions). The corrections made the text agree with the corresponding King James text. The original manuscript is not extant here but probably read according to the corrected reading in 𝓟.

Summary: Maintain the two corrected readings in 𝓟, which are most probably corrections to the original manuscript (and in agreement with the corresponding King James passage).
