Alma 7:19–20 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
yea I perceive that ye are making his paths [strait 1|straight ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] I perceive that it hath been made known unto you by the testimony of his word that he cannot walk in crooked paths

As discussed under 1 Nephi 8:20, the text here should read straight since the passage uses the language of Isaiah 40:3 as cited in the synoptic Gospels. Also note that the following sentence contrasts the Lord’s straight paths with “crooked paths” that he cannot walk in.
