Alma 11:20 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
because they received [their 01BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST| A] wages according to their employ

The 1830 typesetter accidentally omitted the determiner their before wages, but it was restored in the 1837 edition, apparently by reference to 𝓟. As discussed earlier under Alma 11:1, the text normally has either his or their as the determiner for wages. The critical text will, of course, maintain the their here in Alma 11:20.

Summary: Maintain the determiner their for wages in Alma 11:20 (“because they received their wages according to their employ”).
