User:Heidi Pusey BYU/isaiah in the book of mormon

1 Nephi 20-21

2 Nephi we've got

Mosiah 14:1, 15:6

Helaman 8:20

3 Nephi chunk (16-23ish?)

Mormon 8:23 says to search Isaiah

-look into prophets mentioning (besides quoting) 1 Nephi 15:20. 19:23. 2 Nephi 6 and 11. 12 and 17 maybe.

Sections for each book that mentions it and then section for prophecies interpreted?

= Isaiah in the Book of Mormon =

THINGS THAT FIT THIS SECTION:


 * Nephi's use of Isaiah under A Word in Season

Textual variants
J.N. Washburn, an independent scholar, cites that 199 of 433 verses from Isaiah appear with the same wording and proposes that Joseph Smith used the King James Bible version whenever it was close enough to the original meaning of the plates he was said to be translating and used the new translation when meaning differed. According to author H. Clay Gorton, 2 Nephi 21 is the only Isaiah-quoted chapter in the Book of Mormon that, when compared to the KJV, sustains no textual differences. In a similar vein, 2 Nephi 22 and Isaiah 12 are different only by one word. Gorton has concluded that, where Isaiah verses differ in the Book of Mormon, approximately 38% of those changes are extensive.

A Word in Season: Isaiah's Reception in the Book of Mormon

 * Nephi takes from First and Second Isaiah (Spencer 127)
 * Nephi includes eighteen Isaiah chapters and Mormon includes three (Spencer 128)
 * NEPHI'S USE OF ISAIAH: FIRST/SECOND NEPHI
 * departs from the exegetical view of Isaiah's writings and instead focuses on an eisegetical interpretation in which he applies Isaiah's prophecies in a way that differs from how Isaiah may have viewed them (Spencer 128-136)

The Legacy of the Brass Plates of Laban
TEXTUAL VARIANTS--COMPARISON TO KJV


 * Textual variants show that the Book of Mormon Isaiah condemns Israel's sins more severely than the King James Isaiah does (Gorton 44)
 * Several Book of Mormon Isaiah passages align with the Duoay-Rheims Bible--WIKI-LINK There are other similarities and differences between the Book of Mormon Isaiah and the Isaiah of various Bible translations (Gorton 44-45)
 * 67% of differences are stylistic without affecting the meaning; the other 33% change the meaning (Gorton 45)
