Alma 55:2 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
for I will not grant unto him that he shall have any more power than what he hath [ gat 0|got 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST]

As discussed under Alma 47:5, there are two instances in the original text of gat as the past participial form for the verb get. In this particular case, 𝓞 clearly reads gat. When Oliver Cowdery copied the text from 𝓞 into 𝓟, he replaced the archaic gat with the modern got. The critical text will restore the gat here.
