Jacob 5:71–72 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
go to and labor in the vineyard with your [mights 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQS|might RT] ... and if ye labor with your [mights 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQS|might RT] with me ye shall have joy … and it came to pass that the servants did go to it and labor with their mights

Only in Jacob 5:72 did the committee for the 1920 LDS edition fail to edit out the plural mights. The critical text will restore all such instances of this plural usage, providing the earliest textual sources support it. For a complete discussion of the use of the plural mights in the Book of Mormon text, see Jacob 1:19.
