Alma 61:15 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
therefore come unto me speedily with a few of your men and leave the remainder in [the 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMOPQRST| N] charge of Lehi and Teancum

Here we have the accidental loss of the definite article the in the 1906 LDS edition. This omission of the the reverses the meaning. The remainder of the men were definitely not “in charge of Lehi and Teancum”. The definite article the is required here and will be maintained.

Summary: Maintain in Alma 61:15 the definite article the in the phrase “in the charge of Lehi and Teancum”.
