Alma 11:23 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
[𝓢① knoweth > 𝓢② knowest 1|Kowest A|Knowest BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations

As discussed under 1 Nephi 11:2, the critical text will accept Oliver Cowdery’s correction in 𝓟 of knoweth thou to knowest thou. The -eth ending that scribe 2 of 𝓟 wrote down here in Alma 11:23 may be an early error in the transmission due to the initial th of the following subject pronoun thou.
