Alma 32:26 Textual Variants

In the 1852 LDS edition, the typesetter appears to have accidentally replaced their with this, a visual misreading. This error was reversed in the subsequent LDS edition (in 1879). Given the context, their works perfectly well since it refers to the preceding plural noun words.

Summary: Maintain in Alma 32:26 the possessive pronoun their as the determiner for surety.
