Mosiah 15:9 Textual Variants

Here we have a clear example of Oliver Cowdery misreading satisfied as the visually similar sanctified. His correction was virtually immediate (there is no change in the level of ink flow for the supralinearly inserted satisfied ). As might be expected, elsewhere the text refers to satisfying the demands of justice, but never to sanctifying the demands of justice:

• 2 Nephi 9:26
  • for the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice upon all those who hath not the law given to them
• Alma 34:16
  • and thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice
