Alma 23:3 Textual Variants

The 1849 LDS edition accidentally replaced “this proclamation” with “his proclamation”, probably because of the visual similarity between this and his coupled with the following use of his in “unto his people”. The LDS text has retained this typo. In the following verse, the text has one more instance of “this proclamation”, one that has never been changed to “his proclamation”:

• Alma 23:4
  • and now it came to pass that when the king had sent forth this proclamation that Aaron and his brethren went forth from city to city

Elsewhere the text has only instances of “a proclamation” (12 times) and “the proclamation” (3 times), but never “his proclamation”.
