Please read the introductory paragraphs from the 'changes' page if you didn't look at it before. The same points apply here too.
Here we have just one example of many within the Pearl of Great Price. This is from the 'Book of Moses'.
There is so much in the way of alterations to this page that it just will not fit on an A4 size photocopy of the original octavo size sheet. Consequently, the person who went to the trouble of marking up the entire Pearl of Great Price volume split the original page 14 into two in order to accomodate the additions which form verses 20 and 21, and 26 to 31 of chapter 4 of 'Moses'.
Looking at the first of these two pages - the image will open in a seperate browser window so that you may refer to this text at the same time - we start in the middle of what is chapter 4 verse 5 and work our way down through a significant amount of cosmetic rewriting until where we jump from the end of verse 19 to the start of verse 22. After 4 words we then insert text comprising verses 20 and 21 and then revert to verse 22 again.
Please note that this is added text, not text moved from somewhere else. There are many similar instances, please take my word for it.
Turning to the second half of the same page on this scan - which also opens in a seperate browser window - we start at verse 23, working our way down to verse 25, at which point there is added (again) verses 26 through to 32, at which point we go into Chapter 5 verse 1.
Let me make a point that I have no problem with it being set into chapters and verses later. That makes good sense. It is also the way the Bible was constructed.
No; I am referring to additions and subtractions and alterations which are added to what was supposed to be a perfect revelation first up.
One such demonstration should be sufficient to get the point across. You may care to look at the other changes we have posted on this site.
