Alma 23:14 Textual Variants

Here in the printer’s manuscript, Amulonites is missing its determiner, the definite article the. The 1830 compositor supplied it when he set the type. Clearly, the definite article seems required in this context; elsewhere in the text, in noun phrases of the form “any of X”, either the X is a pronoun (those, you, or them) or a noun preceded by a determiner (such as the, these, or a possessive pronoun like my, his, our, or their). The original manuscript is not extant here for the noun phrase “(the) Amulonites”, but there is space for the the between extant fragments of 𝓞. The critical text will therefore accept the 1830 compositor’s addition of the determiner the in this passage.
