The fact that this text show...This is a good point. The fact that this text shows up in JST Isaiah 29 certainly makes me think that this could've possibly been in the original text. <br /><br />However, I think it's more likely that Nephi was almost midrashically weaving these Isaiah verses into his own latter-day prophecy since the way he writes doesn't really match Isaiah's style. Right after finishing quoting Isaiah almost verbatim he still has some residual Isaiah-isms by using heavy styles of repetition.<br /><br />Interestingly, the three major insertions made by Nephi in v. 27, 28, 31 are all to emphasize that the LORD knows, sees, and will show unto wicked and "the terrible one" their being cut off from Him. I think that Nephi may have inserted these himself to better organize and present the Isaiah text for his own purposes.<br /><br />Also, verses 3 and 4 of 2 Nephi 27 demonstrate a similar more explicit recontextualization (in my mind) of original the Isaiah text by Nephi. He changes Ariel (code for "Jerusalem") to Zion, and adds in verse 4 how he is talking about the wicked in general, not just the immediate enemy nations of ancient Israel. In other words, this particular prophecy made by Isaiah can be a broader parallel of what will happen with the Book of Mormon in the latter days.<br /><br />Would love to hear some other perspectives on this.JewelSagehttps://jewelsage.neocities.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66270844770421153.post-73944552027360326112024-03-03T00:17:11.611-05:002024-03-03T00:17:11.611-05:00This is a beautiful sentiment.

Your work feels so much like <a href="http://dssenglishbible.com/isaiah%206.htm" rel="nofollow">the Dead Sea Scrolls comparisons</a> which are also clearly just based on very, very similar but slightly different texts. And the brass plates are at least 400 years older than the Dead Sea Scrolls, so it follows that the Dead Sea Scrolls get even closer to the texts used to create the King James version of Bible.bricelamhttps://bricelam.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66270844770421153.post-67582459909054583582024-02-25T00:32:35.721-05:002024-02-25T00:32:35.721-05:00https://web.archive.org/web/20190813035226/https:/...https://web.archive.org/web/20190813035226/https://www.mormoninterpreter.com/was-joseph-smith-smarter-than-the-average-fourth-year-hebrew-student-finding-a-restoration-significant-hebraism-in-book-of-mormon-isaiah/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66270844770421153.post-37216281024789378992024-02-25T00:27:20.738-05:002024-02-25T00:27:20.738-05:00This is exactly what I was hoping to find.
