What change did Joseph Smith make in verse 32?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The first edition of the Book of Mormon states ‘the everlasting God was judged.’ … instead of ‘the Son of the everlasting God.’ Joseph Smith apparently added ‘the Son of’ to avoid confusion, but the doctrine is not changed as the Nephites understood that ‘There is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time’ (2 Nephi 11:7)” (Nyman, I, Nephi, Wrote This Record, 149n16).
