Scribe 2 of 𝓟 changed the reading of the original manuscript (which is extant here in Alma 11:36) from the present-tense speak to the past-tense spake. While proofing the printer’s manuscript, Oliver Cowdery restored the present-tense speak. But the 1830 typesetter reverted to the past-tense spake that scribe 2 originally wrote in 𝓟. As discussed above under Alma 11:35, either the present tense or the past tense is possible when Zeezrom and Amulek quote each other. We therefore follow the earliest textual sources here in Alma 11:36—namely, the present-tense speak.
Summary: Restore the present-tense speak in Alma 11:36, the reading of the original manuscript.
