Note: Sidney Rigdon copied the old King James Version including words not found in the original Hebrew. These words have been italicized in the New King James Version and were added by the King James translators for English thought clarity. Accordingly, Sidney Rigdon was no language expert and the Book of Mormon is not Holy Scripture.
