2 Nephi 14:6 Textual Variants

Isaiah 4:6 (King James Bible) and for a place of refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain

Here the Book of Mormon text does not repeat the preposition for. Although it is possible that the repeated for was accidentally deleted in the early transmission of the text, two other passages in this long Isaiah quotation (2 Nephi 12–24) show that the Book of Mormon text sometimes omits the repeated preposition for:

• 2 Nephi 17:25 for the sending forth of oxen and the treading of lesser cattle
• Isaiah 7:25 for the sending forth of oxen and for the treading of lesser cattle
• 2 Nephi 18:14 for a gin and a snare
• Isaiah 8:14 for a gin and for a snare
