In his editing for the 1837 edition, Joseph Smith removed the how before that here in Ether 13:2. He also made the same change in 1 Nephi 10:3. Such usage occurs elsewhere in the text of the Book of Mormon and has otherwise been retained. The critical text will restore the original instance of “how that” here in Ether 13:2. For discussion, see under 1 Nephi 10:2–3.
