Alma 21:10 Textual Variants

Here the 1837 edition dropped the conjunction that before the subordinate conjunction as. This deletion appears to be accidental since elsewhere usage is fairly evenly divided in the original text between “it came to pass that as …” (15 occurrences) and “it came to pass as …” (14 occurrences). For each case of “it came to pass (that) as … ”, the critical text will follow the earliest textual sources in determining whether the subordinate conjunction that should be there. Thus here in Alma 21:10, the that will be restored. Also see the discussion under that in volume 3.
