Jacob 5:61–62 Textual Variants

Royal Skousen
that we may labor diligently with our [mights 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQS|might RT] in the vineyard … wherefore let us go to and labor with our [mights 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQS|might RT] this last time

The committee for the 1920 LDS edition edited nearly all examples of mights to might in the olive tree allegory. For the single exception, see the discussion under Jacob 5:71–72. For a complete discussion of the use of the plural mights for the entire text, see under Jacob 1:19. The critical text will restore the plural mights wherever it is supported by the earliest textual sources, as here in Jacob 5:61–62.
