Jeff Lindsay notes that scholars have found support for variant passages in the Book of Mormon chapters of Isaiah in other early biblical manuscript texts. Franklin Harris writes that "in Isaiah 2:20 (2 Nephi 12:20) where the Book of Mormon reads 'he hath made' for 'they made' the reading is confirmed by Codex Alexandrinus which renders 'he made.' (Franklin S. Harris, Jr., The Book of Mormon: Messages and Evidences, pp. 50-52) [Quoted by Jeff Lindsay, "Did Joseph Smith Plagiarize from the King James Bible?," Book of Mormon Commentary, [www.jefflindsay.com]]
2 Nephi 12:20 The bats ([Illustration]): Bats hanging from tree branches in a centuries-old building, Akko. Several species of bats live in the Near East, most of which eat insects. They dwell communally in caves, crevices, or other dark places. [Donald W. Parry, Visualizing Isaiah, p. 123]
