1 Nephi 13:20 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen

Scribe 2 of 𝓞 accidentally omitted the and here in 1 Nephi 13:20. He initially wrote the subject it of the following clause, but he immediately caught his error, erased the it, and overwrote the erasure with an ampersand. As with many other examples of scribe 2 omitting the and, the and is obviously necessary here. For a complete discussion, see 1 Nephi 12:11.
