Alma 32:10 Textual Variants

Here in the original manuscript, Oliver Cowdery initially wrote the singular synagogue (the initial s was capitalized in 𝓞); then virtually immediately Oliver supplied the plural s (there is no change in the level of ink flow for the s that was inserted inline). The surrounding text consistently shows that there was more than one synagogue among the Zoramites:

• Alma 31:12 they found that the Zoramites had built synagogues
• Alma 32:1 entering into their synagogues and into their houses
• Alma 32:2 for behold they were cast out of the synagogues
• Alma 32:3 therefore they were not permitted to enter into their synagogues
• Alma 32:5 for they have cast us out of our synagogues
• Alma 32:9 for we are cast out of our synagogues
• Alma 32:12 it is well that ye are cast out of your synagogues
• Alma 33:2 because ye are cast out of your synagogues

For another example showing Oliver’s tendency to omit the plural s for synagogues, see under Alma 23:2.
