According to Diane Wirth, an interesting observation has been made by John Welch. In Alma 11:16 we come across a unit of measurement called shiblum. Checking an original fragment and the Printer's Manuscript of the Book of Mormon, it was found that the word was actually shilum, not shiblum. Shilum just happens to be a Hebrew word meaning "payment, reward, or retribution." [Diane E. Wirth, A Challenge to the Critics, p. 48]
